David Denning, 53, was piloting a powered paraglider when he lost control of it and crashed into a field in the 17000 Block of Red Iron.

According to his instructor, Ashton Brunner, Denning was fairly new to the sport of powered paragliding. He bought his glider about 6 months ago and had been taking flying lessons with Brunner for about the same period of time.
