Flight For Life
Mar 9th, 2008 by Don Ray
If you are going to be in Panama, in May of this year, you might want to know that there is a world record that is scheduled to be broken.
Here is an excerpt from the Flight For Life site:
In May of 2008, an international group of Powered Paragliders (PPG) will meet in the Republic of Panama to attempt a world record. Their mission is to cross from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean flying over the Panama Canal. The fact that authorization has been obtained to fly over the Panama Canal is unique, due to the high security restrictions concerning that specific airspace. The reason that authorization has been obtained is due to the fact that besides establishing a world record, the event has a greater good. The proceeds from their sponsors will be donated entirely to a local charity foundation called FANLYC (”Foundation of Friends of the Children with Leukemia and Cancer”).
