Adventure in the Owens Valley - my first 100 mile flight!

My very first flight in the majestic Owens Valley of California, and I was lucky to have the right conditions to make the 100-mile goal distance flight. Of course, I had prepared well too.

Soham, this is the best and most compelling documentation/description of the classic 100-miler in the Owen's I've ever seen. Compelling viewing for anyone who has (or wants to) make the milk run from Walt's point to Janies. Kudos to you for putting this together so beautifully. And congrats on demonstrating great flying skills and achieving this milestone!!!

Thanks for the kind words Geoff! I flew the same route again on the 4th and got actual camera footage. Check it out kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZanc5xthparprM

[@sohamhanggliding]

Thanks! Hope we can fly there together soon!

Outstanding!! Congratulations!! Thanks for sharing the ride! Too bad Janey's is closed - many, many years ago they were good for cold beer and more if you had the $$$ ;)

[@sohamhanggliding]

Thanks Phil! I’m sure things have changed since you last flew there. The valley towns are busy with tourists and fun to spend the evenings in.

A chick has fledged, the first bite from the forbidden apple seems to have had its effect and it can be assumed that the drug is now flowing in your veins. If you do not allow yourself to be put off (career, family, social status), then it will completely take hold of you and give you many of the most sublime experiences that the human mind can ever grasp. Welcome to the small community of Flex Wings XC pilots and I wish you many more lavish celebrations in the most beautiful playgrounds in the world. Never be satisfied with the small, surely achievable success, but always try to reach a little further than you secretly trust yourself. Be brave and daring, but never be cocky and stupid. Don't hang on to life, then you won't lose it either. You have already made half of it, now you only have to fly back (8.5 hours of flight time at a 38 km / h average should be easy in Owns Valley) and your life will be completely different, guaranteed! Enjoy and have fun.

Well said, thanks!
