it's a long flight out there some low flight and a lil mtn. top footage with a higher altitude look at where I film a lot of my low flight videos... My local playground for flying.
Nice job. I often do a Pacific Northwest border patrol but I’m not as low, slow and open as you (it’s not that warm here anyway). Nice desert command post!
Ya it never disappoints, and a great pit stop on a longer flight... Check out my other dry lake flight with 2 other planes from a few years back, just north of Tombstone and I-10

@@RichParkerflys you ever hit any insects up there in the air? I'd assume most the critters are ground level but just had to ask cuz I saw you don't wear much on the face.

Did you ever participate with the group of 5-10 ultralights from Marana, Casa Grande and Eloy that would land across from the T & A truck stop on Weekends and have breakfast? Every now and then we would see them land and the they would go in for breakfast. It was a cool sight to see
No, and No but I could If I wanted to. If I would go to a towered airport I'd get the frequency and call to arrange landing instructions but they don't like us slow ultralight guys in there too much... the B and C airports require a Transponder which I don't have i

@@francisconti9085 most who see it from my perspective up there tend to agree
they are concerned about the cactus!
Another great flight Rich. You're doing a pretty darn good job of editing.
thx love the comments
Great flight! Finally it's warm enough almost for shorts on a morning flight here in sunny southern Arizona!
yep except when I get up in the air I'm pushing 4-5k altitude so most of the time just short sleeves
thats just so damn cool
I think so too I love it

Very nice, I need to read up on your plane . This is something I can see myself getting into.
Check out Airtech Inc. in Reserve LA Bever Bourne is the owner and been so helpful in maintaining my airplane and parts support

before I started flyin' but I kept my plane@ H.L's in Marana
Great video! Are you in contact with air traffic controllers? Do you have to file a flight plan?
No, and No but I could If I wanted to. If I would go to a towered airport I'd get the frequency and call to arrange landing instructions but they don't like us slow ultralight guys in there too much... the B and C airports require a Transponder which I don't have

Balls of steel- from Australia

you must have some nice flat open spots I could land in the outback I bet
Nice flight. Forgive me if someone already asked you, how much fuel did you use on that flight? Thank you for the video.
in an Hour flight I burn about 5 gallons
