THE END

Chris remembers: "People stopped to ask if everything was okay and if I needed any help. A nice woman and her son were able to watch as the trikes and Class of 2009 glided right over us on their return to our Winnebago County location. We chatted a bit and I realized that she worked at the same place as my instructor who taught me how to fly an ultralight trike back in 2001. I told her to say hi to him and to thank him for teaching me how to deadstick a trike into a field. It turns out he is one of many people who started a campaign to help raise funds to pay for my engine — which is the amazing part of this story." WE think Chris's courage and cool are also amazing. And craniacs everywhere (like YOU) are amazing!
