Those dust devils toss kids playing in those inflatable castles and such way up into the air and kill many more kids than one would expect. Those things are dangerous especially if there is any wind at all. A five year old got killed in Maryland and a 2 year old got killed in Arizona recently.

I did a lot of training at Perris, including skysurfing. The dust devils could be quite bad. It wasn’t the best wind conditions for jumping. I still have a touchy knee from catching an updraft on a landing in 2000. Being over 40, it was a good time to retire. I lost an number of acquaintances from that dz. It’s like the adage- there’s old pilots and bold pilots, but no old, bold pilots. Blue skies, black death.
