  • This is by far the most insane video I have ever had the opportunity to live through and make! what was literally the coldest I have ever been which is surprising considering I ice dive, and this is the highest I have ever been outside a plane! god is amazing and im sure heaven will be 10x this view! can't wait till the next wild adventure. and for everyone wondering this was all done in completely legal airspace!
    Thankful for Susie my Beautiful Girlfriend and her Mom for coming out and supporting me!

I stood there just taking it all in and realized those mountains were there long before me and will be there long after I'm gone. It kind of put my daily worries in perspective as to exactly how insignificant they truly are in the scope of the world. It was a moment to remember. On a different note, the air is pretty thin at that altitude. Did it have any impact on the fuel air settings of the carb? Thin air can be a real problem for a normally aspirated engine.

      As a PPG pilot myself, its not the height that gets me as that just gives me more time to fix a problem(175ft or 17,500ft you are a dead man anyway). Its the higher winds, cold, and the disappearing we use to pilot out of isolations. With no instruments in front of us it can get disorienting as the winds move the glider around.

      To put into perspective how high this guy was download an app to your phone called flight 24. It allows you to identify a plane you see above you and it's altitude. 17,000 ft is when you barely see an airliner but you see the vapor trail. You probably could not have even seen this guy from the ground at his altitude.

      @@ryanboughton5062 airliners almost always cruise above FL300 (i.e. 30,000'). You must be confusing meters and feet. The only place you'll catch an airliner that low is near an airport. 18,000' is where positively controlled airspace begins and the ability to fly under visual flight rules (VFR) ends. To fly VFR you don't need a flight plan, you don't need to talk to ATC on a radio, you don't need anything except to maintain visual separation from clouds and other planes. That's why he was able to do this and why he could only go to 17,500' even if the paramotor could have flown higher.

    My first jump in Vietnam was from 2200 feet. I was so scared that I couldn't even spit. My next jump seemed routine. My lowest jump was 850 feet, which kind of worried me if the chute would open, but it did without hesitation. My grandson knew that I had parachuted in the Marines and he wanted me to go with him to the classes at the local airfield, so I did. I never knew that he expected me to jump with him. I was 64 at the time and never jumped since the war, but I did it just for him. We jumped from 900 feet. I was kind of afraid, but I put my faith in God and whoever folded my chute.
