About
Why Airparamo?
When I moved to AZ, I was interested in powered paragliding and began my search for an instructor. I found Airparamo on the web and immediately called Mo. When I first spoke with him, he was in the middle of a fly-in in California and yet he still spent almost 15 minutes of his time to talk to me about the sport. Since then I have purchased my training and all of my gear through him and currently fly as often as I can. Not only is Mo a fantastic and thorough instructor, but a good friend as well. If I were to do it all over again, there isn't one thing I would change!
