I fly paramotors. Imagine a fan you strap on your back, a paraglider that goes overhead, and you run run run until you're airborne! Never fails to put a smile on my face when times are tough. And maintaining the engine and planning that next flight keeps me occupied when the weather doesn't cooperate.
Does this require any type of license?
Nope!
Been thinking about this. Did you train anywhere or just get a wing and motor and just go for it?
Training was the way for me! I was a pilot beforehand, but it's such a unique and rather awkward movement that I probably would have really struggled without training.
