In December 2014, the Ozone PPG Team (& friends) traveled to Qatar to fly together during a seven day event. The Ozone pilots were graciously invited by the Qatar Air Sport Committee to perform a paramotor and acro paragliding show during Qatar National Day.

Thanks to the Qatar Air Sport Committee for their hospitality, the fun flying, and some new friends.
