This is soooo awesome. If you start looking into Hang Gliding, John Heiney's name comes up again and again. I'm an old, former HG flyer from back in the mid-70's starting up all over again in Arizona. Someday, I'd like to meet this guy in person!

Flying a hill with great shape in a smooth breeze with a lightweight wing. Something i was doing also a few days ago when i was joined by a young Sea Eagle, and then the picture was perfect. It flew with me playing in my wake the way they do with their siblings and parents. Diving, climbing, stalling and streaking in front of me to turn back and pull in behind me again. The experience that day still gives me shivers. If there is a God, he flies a Sea Eagle,,,

@johnheiney89434 ай бұрын
Hi Larry. @SVSky is correct. One of my older students bought it from Blue Sky a few years ago, but flew it little. Then he had to quit flying due to medical issues. I bought it from him. It is great for light winds. It flies noticeably slower than normal single-surface gliders. Rudy can build one for you.

Really nice flying and great video, John. What glider are you flying here? It looks smooth and floaty, but I’m sure some of that is pilot finesse.

Absolutely wonderful video, John! I really miss flying Elsinore with you. My favorite memory was probably my second flight there when I was still flying my first Falcon, probably in 2016. I completely botched getting up in the thermal over the spine, and quickly found myself in a pretty decent headwind. I was nowhere close to making the LZ 😂 I landed in this field: maps.app.goo.gl/DMVejrBP2o7127yq8. You picked me up soon after you landed. Thanks for the great memories there!

@ericoschmitt6 ай бұрын
How bad is your condition? You do need to see things in order to fly and land. Otherwise you can do tandem flights. If you are decided about flying many times you can talk an instructor into selling a flight package at a good price so you can enjoy several flights in different weekends and sites.

@@DJDevious Then tandem flights it is. Go for it, you will have a lot of fun! For the price you'd spend in a full course and equipment you can get a monthly flight for several years, so if you really enjoy the first one you can keep coming back and a package can make sense.

This is Point of the Mountain. It lies between Salt Lake City and Provo Utah in the USA. It's about 20 miles south of Salt Lake City. The I-15 Freeway runs north/south and passes close to the Point. You will see the north and south soaring ridges from the freeway. Join the club. Have fun. Fly safely. www.uhgpga.org/
