Flight Over Zion

By Rick D

An early morning flight over and around Zion National Park in Utah. Spectacular landscapes! This video does not do justice to the majesty of this area. And this is not far from our new backyard. I can't believe we live here now! We thought we would fly "Henry Style", near the stratosphere instead of a couple of feet off of the ground. :) Not to mention keeping the park rangers happy. I haven't been here long enough to have the law tracking me down like a dirty dawg.

    Hey Rick, this is very nice video over breathtaking country. What was at 6,05? Runway?

  • Tussock

    Beautiful, Rick!  I spent some time in that area during a hang gliding/mountain biking/rock climbing trip in the early nineties, and watching your video brought back some (distant!) memories.  Stunning flying, beautifully filmed.  You have an awesome back yard.  Thanks for sharing.

    Hi Joz, that was a track that was used to test ejection seats many years ago. A 2 mile track where they would shoot the seats off the end of the mesa. Would not want to have been a monkey back then. :)

  • Rick D

    Thanks Tussock! Man, you must have had a ton of fun with all those activities.

  • Ken

    Beautiful Rick! The color there is amazing. Seems like you might never tire if it. Looks like some new pavement on that race track, wassup there?

  • Rick D

    Thanks Ken, that is for the candidates that do not get the nomination. Still using same ejection seats!

    Rick, joz,ken. This is just awefull. Ive turned something off on my smart phone . I cant see jozinkos or ricks or any videos. Iam so phone computer illiterate. I think iam having a meltdown. Nothing worse than reading about vids i cant see.

  • Leo

    Hey WHite Eagle - you've got get that fixed.  There's some classic Dave Gilmour guitar for a soundtrack; you'd love it!

  • white eagle

  • Wile E Scott

    Great work Rick. Next you will be getting a phone call from National Geographic for rides.

  • Rick D

    Thanks everyone! David, when all else fails give it the ole boot. :)  Standing by for the NatGeo call...haha

  • Happy Triker

    One of the best places to fly with a trike, great work, Rick !!

  • ULtrikepilot

    Holy Mackerel, that was great Rick.  Some day I would like to fly both Zion and Bryce. Yes that is some classic David Gilmour.  WE I too am having issues with video display on AT.  But if you go to youtube directly and search for Rick Deigsler you will see all Ricks awesome videos including this one.  Thanks for sharing Rick.

  • Rick D

    Thanks Henry and Joe! Yeah, I said many times to Debbie during this flight, "this is where we live!". Thanks for the plug on YouTube Joe. :)
