The Tex Factor

This Tex Factor episode shows you how a Plano man is taking paratransit possibilities to a whole new height with his disabled son in the passenger seat.

For the past 40 years, Dave English has been lifting customers for a bird's eye view of North Texas. 

No windows or doors… just the wind in your face and an unrestricted view from hundreds of feet in the air. 

The Tex Factor shows you how these powered parachutes work, what it takes to become a pilot, and how one Plano man is taking paratransit possibilities to a whole new height with his disabled son in the passenger seat.

Watch The Tex Factor Sundays at 7:30 a.m. on FOX 4 and Saturdays at 2:30 p.m. on More 27. You can also check out more stories on our YouTube page.
