    hi noel its late and i was heading to bed and saw that you put this back up couldn't help but watch it. Sitting here and contemplating of what triking means to me i think that you're video and tucans video sums it all up. i don't see any real daredevil flying but just everything i love about this sport. i realize that out of all the wonderful faces and many laughs theirs not one face that comes to mind that i don't get moved with a warm felling of love.just makes me wish the world was a smaller place. sometimes i think that flying trikes is just the learning lesson preparing us all and when we our drawn together in a spiritual bond that it is all of us preparing for the real flying that happens in some undiscovered future when we are brought back for the conclusion .  could you get me the artist and title to the music in this video. i want to go flying and think about you all makes me feel good inside.

    Great XC!!! Thanks.

  • YFT

    Hi XC, love the map, but you didn't put the track from Ivanhoe to Broken Hill in. What you didn't like that part of the flight... LOL

  • XC Triker

    Oh cr@p, really?  Can you fix it for me and repost back here?  I actually liked that part the best, we saw the most Kangaroos that day I believe, and the geological signs of the ancient inland sea before broken hill were awesome--  see if @Au.fait will post her awesome pic of that (or maybe it was Charlie150 's pic, they were up higher)--  I think you got one too maybe.

    Anyway, that day was great(er) and there were Actual Hills !!! in Oz  !!!  Who'd have thought ;)  It was also one of the longer days of flying ;)

    Noel the soundtrack was awesome, several stuck in my head, great match of lyrics/feel to film.

    YFT ( @yarraft ) I fixed the SkyVector map for MegaFauna  HERE   and   added Menindee Lake Airport (by coordinates):

     

    ( or here   http://skyvector.com/?ll=-32.284655905598584,142.15722658273387&chart=301&zoom=12&plan=A.YM.YYWG:A.YM.YCOR:A.YM.YHAY:A.YM.YIVO:G.-32.39140376804141,142.39105226634237:A.YM.YBHI:A.YM.YWTO:A.YM.YMIA:F.YM.YBRN:A.YM.YDLQ:A.YM.YYWG )

     

    752 Nautical miles if flown perfectly straight.
