POLICY WIRE — Pueblo, United States — Jake Hutzler’s daily routine involves directing aircraft from an airport tower. But once a week, he takes to the skies in a very different way: by flying a paramotor.

Hutzler, a 28-year-old air traffic controller, starts his journey by laying out a large wing on the road outside his apartment, firing up the motor, and running until he lifts off. He soars over fields, highways, and water towers at a leisurely pace, enjoying the view that few others get to experience.
