Aero-News Quote of the Day

“Wherever you land as a paramotorist, whoever's nearby is understandably curious to know where you've come from and why. I'll be using that interest to tell people the swans' story and to invite everyone I meet - from reindeer herders to town planners – to get involved in helping them to survive. As we develop the expedition, we're exploring new research opportunities, from doing an aerial survey of the swans' breeding grounds to documenting the turbulence from a wind turbine."
