PETER HAMMETT

Peter Hammett, caught deep in the thought process in Sun Valley... Pete spends the summer months as a smoke-jumper for the Forest Service, and the rest of the year sorta back and forth between Boise and Bend, Oregon.  Peter knows Idaho paragliding very well, and would be a great choice if you wish to learn to fly in the Boise valley.  He is both an instructor and an equipment dealer.  You will have to work around his schedule, but no one in the valley is a better instructor.  To find out more, contact him at:

after a great day of flying at Melba Ridge...

Peter poses next to John Barsness' 1946 Ercoupe as we were out reconnoitering paragliding sites one day.

Peter at Sun Valley, where he worked as a tandem paragliding pilot giving paragliding rides to tourists.

Peter Swoops by as Pat Harper, Jeff Meyer, and John Barsness prepare to meet him in the air at Melba, ID.  This is a great flying site and we had an awesome day, flying from mid afternoon until after dark!
