Just Wanna Fly Jade Lear

Streamed live on Feb 21, 2024Bring your questions, and ideas, to give give to the designer of this cool APP that lots of of use, and he will be happy to listen and write down our ideas for any improvements to Gaggle!

Hennie is a tech enthusiast and software developer with a 12 year career in designing and creating software solutions for companies around the world. In 2020, his journey took him to the skies when he discovered paramotoring. Realizing the lack of modern apps for pilots, he created Gaggle, an app designed to enhance the flying experience for every pilot. Gaggle, now a staple in the paramotor community, boasts over 4,000 pilots that record more than 20,000 flights each month. It's packed with features to keep pilots safe, informed, and foster connections among them, including an in-flight computer, alerts about nearby aircraft, and the ability to share live-locations. Hennie's vision for Gaggle goes beyond simply tracking flights; he's committed to making it the go-to app for pilots seeking community, progressing their craft, and finding more opportunities to fly. This year, Gaggle has plans to introduce more community-driven features while refining existing functionality. Hennie is also busy working on his next product, a solution aimed towards the motorbike loving adventurers out there.

Streamed live on Oct 18, 2023   🪂Just Wanna Fly 🪂Meet Michelle Burns -

I'm Michelle! I knew about Paramotor for a few years prior to training, but never had any interest in learning until a random birthday balloon gave me an opportunity to do a tandem foot launch and that flight sealed the deal! I trained in April of 2022 and it's been the best thing I've ever done! Paramotor has stolen my heart. The freedom and adventures we pilots get to experience is something I will never be able to put into words. I love the community and people I've met through Paramotor. It's a continuous adventure of a lifetime!

Here's to many more flights, adventures and smiles!

Meet Jonathan -
I was Born and raised and live in Flagstaff AZ. Growing up, my dad would always say that our family motto was “Work hard and play harder.” I’ve tried my best to do that. Me and my wife have six kids (all boys), and a garage full of toys that reflect my long history of playing with things that have a throttle or that float or that fly. I took an into paragliding flight in 1996 off of Haleakala in Maui and still remember that sense of wonder as the ground dropped away.
I learned to windsurf when I was a teenager, and then learned to kiteboard in my 20’s then started playing with hydrofoils in my 30’s.
As a kid I was constantly “designing” sail boats and catamarans and hydrofoil catamarans and wanted to be an airline pilot or an aeronautical engineer when I grew up. I didn’t become either of those things, but the curiosity remained.
In 2020, a friend of mine sent me a video of Tucker Gott flying around Sedona & Meteor Crater, which are near Flagstaff, and it was like a switch flipped in my head. I knew I had to learn to fly Paramotors. I signed up for training with Epic Paramotor and trained in Eagle Mountain Ut with Noah Rasheta in May of 2021. I have around 170 hours of PPG flight time in. As a result of how much I love flying PPG, I decided I wanted to learn how to fly airplanes & bush planes, so I began training for my Private Pilot Certificate in September of 2023. I have 8 General Aviation training flights and 15 landings under my belt so far.
My favorite things about flying PPG are the ability to explore new, often shockingly beautiful areas, the sense of freedom combined with the requirement for self-sufficiency, and the many incredible people I’ve met thru this sport.
