~ 166 Airports, Fields, or off road (4 Countries- hopefully more soon :)
If you put all your airports/off airports on SkyVector, you can make a cool map of the places you've been. These are mine:
In North American Continent (US, Mex, Canada, Hawaii)
In AUSTRALIA (MegaFauna 2014, etc)
ALL (get's a little crowded in this view)

Comments (8)Hey @Cburg , @WeFly, @Wang1 , @Flydiver what do you know about this video?
It was Uploaded to youtube on Nov 8, 2009 but the wing is much older than that-- about 4 floppy battens per side and no defined airfoil. Still ahs wheels on the control bar ala HG style-- very light set up.
I was worried about him when he strapped in in front of the control bar-- wondering if it was his first flight / training ? The registration number is British, isn't it G-MMGE?
Uploader comment was "On a wing and a prayer up he goes and he flies it too. The landing is more like a parachute drop than a flare."
Comments
Wow, that is something.
Some "likely lads" from my home county of Yorkshire - the accents give it away!! The big mill building in the background is pretty distinctive - I suspect somewhere near Sheffield (Steel mills) - those Southern Yorkshire lad are all crazy!!
That's a crazy looking wing to be sure. Closer to the old school rogallo
Looks like breen microlites some pink Floyd would of fit nicely in their.
Good bye blue skys goodbye.
Not familiar with that wing, but don't think I would personally fly it. May be very quick to set up though. L/D can't be all that great but he was able to get air borne. Hey, plopping it in on landing would give some pretty good STOL performance.
was the pru wobbling ? or ? amazing cajunas, makes me proud to be (ex) limey!
@DaveSalter , @MontyStone that's so cool you could identify the country. Brings more character to the whole video-- thanks. This video tells a story-- I think it's of the evolution of trikes, but I was a bit puzzled that it was posted in 2009.
Yeah, plopping can work for some situations.
Not sure I understood the rest of what you said Monty ;) ?Pru? Cayunas (carbs) or Cajones (big Juevos-- Balls)?
hi dave, yes i lived in the uk 'midlands' for a while during 1941 after some teutonic 'supermen' in dark green airplanes dropped a bomb on the back of our house (apartment) in london. i remember the 'yorkies' and the 'lancashire' people as very warm hearted, though the kids thought a 'cockney' accent was that of a 'furriner' (and so, in our inevitable 'war games, during which, we tried to de-rail a troop train full of OUR troops, and strung wire accross roads trying to behead the odd bicycle rider (no lights at night) being a 'furriner i had to play the part of a 'kraut' sentry and ALWAYS would be' killed', usually from behind with a blunt kitchen knife wielded by a big red headed kid playing a 'commando ! i must have more experience of having my throat cut than most other 6yr old kids!!), but,of course i played that 'exoticness' to the hilt with the local 'lassies' ,but with no remembered success! though, at 6yrs of age i doubt i was equipped for 'conquest'. re pru= prop reduction unit, cayunas is a corruption of 'testes', wherin manly courage emanates, and of course ' hand plopping' is what chinese trike 'pirots' do to start their engines, now where was i ?, oh yeah,'thus endeth the loquacios comment ,'phew! monty
