I recently spoke with an amazing gentleman of soon-to-be 91 years, who lives in Tamarack, Florida (a suburb of Ft. Lauderdale.) He's working his way through his "bucket list"; last year he celebrated his 90th birthday with a parachute jump, and he'd like to celebrate his 91st with an ultralight flight. He got my name off the internet and contacted me to find out about getting a flight in an "ultralight".
Do any of you know someone in the greater Ft. Lauderdale area who might be willing to give a lively almost-91 year old a flight in an ultralight-type aircraft? We had a delightful conversation on the phone and I'm sure that whomever gives him a flight will have a lot of fun getting to know him.
I know there's an EAA Chapter in the Ft. Lauderdale area and I've left a few messages, but haven't heard back, so am trying this way of reach out to other ultralight/LSA pilots.
Please get in touch with me and I'll forward your contact information to Sam. Thanks in advance -

Ultralights are few and far between in the Ft Lauderdale area, as we as even just open ultralight-type experimentals.
Id say the best bet is to venture north up to lantana or F45, or south into some of the outer airports in Miami. I know at lantana there are a couple challenger experimentals, but not much...
I also think there was a guy giving rides out between Labelle / Clewiston...around the hang glider activity. Maybe give them a call to see what is possible.

Good luck!
