17,500 feet up in a Paramotor.

I just wish they'd regulate the noisy $%@#ers that are in Tuttle. Launching from the Coal Creek Winery property and buzzing all of the neighborhoods within a few square miles. It's even more annoying the closer you are to their takeoff before gaining full altitude it quiets down some then gets loud again when landing. Looks like a blast but not so much when on the ground trying to enjoy the rural peace and quiet on my PRIVATE PROPERTY!! I suspect they aren't breaking any laws and most likely just sucks for the people who live in the area. Also, just started this year.

You should live where I do. We are 1/2 mile off the Arkansas River in Osage County. There are flotillas of air boats up and down that river with zero exhaust mufflers. It's like living at Thunder Valley raceway.
I have to give props to the guy taking the craft to that altitude. Takes a big set of cahunas.
I fully expected to see a squadron of F-35's appear for a second and the screen go black though at the end though.
Glad he made it back safely.

That was pretty awesome. Wish I had the stones to try it.
