  6. This is the kind of thing that paraglider and hangglider pilots live in fear of. Thankfully it is extremely rare but there was also a recent collision in Texas where both pilots died. youtu.be/_3En6YCoMBw #freeflight #aviation #paragliding #cessna

  7. I just heard that Bill Moyes passed away this September at the age of 92. He was a hang-gliding pioneer and fearless pilot who effectively founded the sport in the 1960s. An inspirational figure to all those who participate in freeflight. RIP.

  10. And finally: A looong glide (plus two thermals) from the Weissmies peak (4017m) down to Domodossola (240m).

    That flight took a bit of planning. The direct route over Passo di Pontimia would have been shorter, but the Valle di Bognanco looks pretty unlandable. So we took the slightly longer route via Passo d'Andolla and the Valle d'Antrona.
