Unseasonable monsoon weather produced perfect flying conditions. It feels almost like Autumn with the corn maze growing, the hay mown and the water of the estero glassy. The view over the fog to Bodega Bay was even finer in person.
I recently had the pleasure of sharing an evening flight with an adventurous young lady whom I have known for many years. Introducing people to the unique flying experience that a trike provides is great fun! Hope you enjoy the ride.
Took my next door neighbors up for their first trike flight. They were very nervous but overcame the fear. As expected, I have more friends to fill the back seat when Debbie can't fly. :) I think I get more enjoyment out of taking people up for this unique experience than they do.
A bit of a boring video I know, and yes it is much easier when the landing site is one that is very familiar and available. But still, a good bit of exercise now and then to learn to judge your descent and distance judging skills.
Around the pattern and landing at ButtonWillow- it was prettier than suggested by google satellite view-- granted, it is still "Stark" as Ken says!! ;) But that's the fun of camping, getting away from it all, focussing on friends and flying-- no distractions
this video just a good reminder to follow ridge rules and lesson on clearing your turn and generally being aware of your surroundings while flying a hang glider,soaring trike or anything that flys. whew it dont get closer than that
The day was overcast and unsettled. The late afternoon brought on smooth air little wind and a breaking up of the cloud cover. What better time for some formation flying around the clouds
Flying a tiny airport in Keene, New York. Marcy Field. Trees were like a day past full color, but still nice. I trailer my trike, tent etc up there on a homemade trailer.
This is NOT my video, I just watched it on facebook and felt this needed to be shared. It is very nicely done with good music and editing. Definitely captures the thrill of Trike flying. I enjoyed it and I hope you enjoy it too.
