Very nice flight. You may want to consider flying with FLARM in this area because on a great day like this there can be a lot of sailplanes flying near cloudbase in the same convergence, and almost 100% of them are FLARM equipped.
🤩😍 superb video! Amazing footage, amazing presentation, and amazing storytelling. Thanks for making this, cant wait for the next episode! Congrats on the nice flight!!
enjoyed your presentation of this flight. describing what your're thinking and adding bits of info re. spots you're flying over is, to me, very entertaining. stay safe. 🙂
Another beautiful and impressive HG soaring XC video!! Although I don’t HG anymore I am always dreaming of being up there with you. I wish we would have had GoPro’s etc. back in the day to better record the early 1970’s & 80’s days of hang gliding, for better or worse!! Are you flying a T3? Looks like an amazing glider!! Thanks Chuck R Hang IV #214
Haha yes, we're willing to deal with that if it happens. I didn't mention in the video, but there is another small bailout that's much closer to the road, at a 10:1 glide. So still needs some skill and luck, but high chance we'll make it. That's why I would only recommend this site for advanced pilots and in strong "bulletproof" conditions.
@ lolo good point.. i was genuinely curious as random thought doing what we love excited all suited up then ughhh gotta pee .. for me it was usually at top of crowded hill skiing or just start skidooing or quading biking fishing and i see this being no different if i finally get going at my age.

Best hang glider videos on TH-cam.
I'm really impressed by the footage. Starting with the view from the car, the dam, multiple camera angles from the glider and ending with the almonds.
Beautiful, makes me want to fly in California one day too! Loved the way you recounted the flight as well.

Yes, technology is evolving too fast for me to keep up. Next time I’m upgrade my instrument, I’ll get one with FLARM
Always a pleasure to watch your flying and videos. Your tutorials of your flights and knowledge of the surroundings are so informative.

Thank you Chuck! Yes I’m flying a T3, and it’s a cross country machine! I would have loved to see footage of those early XC flights from the 80’s.
Lovely Video. Frank in Kilkenny Ireland. PG Pilot
Thanks, great to hear from pilots over the world! I hope to fly in Ireland some day. Also a P2 myself, on track to be P3 soon!
Looks like fun! Nice one.
Love your videos man
My anxiety threw the Roof 😮😳
Can I ask why? The flight was quite peaceful.
Great xc vid bruh, subscribed!!!
Thanks for the sub! I will be making more videos like this one!
Very nice😊
Wait, 1 hr hike from bail out? It means 2 trips with T3 and Rotor harness lol

Beauty 👍
Do you just pee in flight? if you really needed to?
It's possible but I avoid it as much as possible since it's difficult to open zippers with my thick gloves.
