Extreme Aufwinde bringen Gleitschirmflieger in China auf 8.589 Meter

Eigentlich wollte der Chinese nur einen Gleitschirm testen, doch daraus wurde ein gefährliches Manöver. Durch extremen Aufwind wurde er bis auf 8.589 Meter gesogen. Dass Freunde ein Video davon posteten, hat nun Folgen.

When you're on FL95, what you don't expect are paraglider several thousand feet above you.
Describes today's weather pretty well, though.
You definitely need an improvised Sun protection.

#Ad: #Selling my school glider #Ozone Jomo (1st generation). It has 158 flights out of which 86 flights were in school (mostly top-to-bottom). Clocked 25h of "air time", including one session of 3h 30min of ground handling.

Always dried properly, folded properly and stored in a bag. No #SAV (#SIKU), no tree landing, no landing into water, no holes on the canopy.

Had to replace the clip for holding the brake in position when parked on the right side (typical issue with this system). The glider has an ad sticker for "Augencentrum Interlaken" over it, so selling it for a nicer price.

- Type: Jomo I
- Size: M
- Flying weight: 80-100 kg
- Flat area: 26.0 m²
- Projected area: 22.1 m²
- Glider weight: 3.8 kg
- Classification: A
- Colours: White, green, purple

Did #trimming & check on 06.04.2024, passed with all pieces "i.O" (perfect marks), I can provide the test results protocol. Did not fly it since the test.

Overall it's a very stable, very safe wing and easy to handle. Liked it to pass the test at school, but now I have more agile toy to use. It has still tons of life in it, so I would like if someone could take it for more flights.
