That was a sweet adventure Mark! Always wondered if someone would steal unattended paramotor gear. Glad you got it back! Thanks for the shout out as well! Love to hear I was a part of your inspiration.

[@Vimmz]

Looky here, the man himself

[@markallisonparamotor]

Thanks for dropping by and inspiring so many to experience the joy of flight. ✌️

[@GolfFoxtrot22]

Woops, lost tank and fuel theft...hahaha, very enjoyable Mark.

[@markallisonparamotor]

Thanks lol, it was an unexpectedly fun one.

[@bluesilex78]

Great video and adventure Mark. I always like to fly with a mission too. I also like watching Tucker's shenanigans but your videos are much more like my style of flying, you both inspire me to get out and do more.

[@GolfFoxtrot22]

It's a great strip. I did the McDonald's run when I landed there from Sywell.

[@markallisonparamotor]

Nice, it's such a great spot!

[@ShortField]

Wow even Tucker appreciated this one. Inspired Mark loved this video.

[@markallisonparamotor]

Thanks, it's very satisfying to fly out somewhere for a reason, rather than doing a closed circuit.

[@MKHNitro]

Another beautiful flight Mark Good point about crossing power lines at 45 degrees

[@markallisonparamotor]

Yes indeed

[@ZielinskiIrek]

Fuel tank shenanigans - love it 🙂

[@DeltaVTX]

Perfect commuter

[@Vimmz]

All this frequent and high quality content just waiting for millions of viewers

[@markallisonparamotor]

Very kind

[@cloudpandarism2627]

0:48min awww right in the feels. but hey the stuff you do are much more to get me going to fly than tucker for now. i still cannot believe your channel have less than 2000 subs.

[@cloudpandarism2627]

finished watching - while silently sobbing here because i cant remember when i saw blue sky the last time. its constantly rain-storming here since what... 4 months now? thanks for taking us less blessed pilots along mark. i enjoyed that one alot.

[@markallisonparamotor]

Thanks mate, 👍👍

[@markallisonparamotor]

@@cloudpandarism2627 I am praying for the sky gods to shine on you

[@cloudpandarism2627]

@@markallisonparamotor cheers mark. maybe a month later or so it will start slowly get better. but until thank you keep stealing gasoline and take us with you alright?

[@Skycrowe666]

This could be a part of the new Carry on film franchise. Great video.

[@markallisonparamotor]

Haha!

[@sr71afan]

What FUN!!!

[@CrispyJacketStudios]

5:09 great tip 👊

[@markallisonparamotor]

It's OK if you are high up, but when flying low, it's a good rule.

[@shanesplanetshane3795]

Choose your friends wisely.... Funny vid, thanks for sharing!

[@CrispyJacketStudios]

Thanks. Entertaining as always 🤙

[@Snailpaws]

Is it just me... or are these two flying guys the coolest hunks on the inter web?!?! Another great video Mark. That was a really fun little trip. I can't believe you were chased for unpaid fuel. I shall lock my van whenever I see you at the airfield from now on! Great work mate 🤣😁😎

[@markallisonparamotor]

🤣🤣 That flight is definitely on the "All-Time Memorable Flights" list! Brilliant fun. ✌✌

[@barrywebber100]

Great trip. great film! Thanks for posting.

[@frankportillo7758]

Great vid mate!

[@nottiification]

That really is extremely dangerous. You truly are an incredibly brave man eating at mcdonalds like that.

[@markallisonparamotor]

I know right, I made an exception this time!

[@Coopzzz360]

Look at that a victim of crime turning criminal🤣 great vid once again Mark!

[@markallisonparamotor]

🤣

[@alankendal5857]

Great little adventure Mark and Lee, I must try and get out more!

[@markallisonparamotor]

For sure, but it has not been easy in the past six months due to weather.

[@ranh71]

He inspired me too!! Thanks Tucker😊 Great video Mark!! Good adventure.

[@markallisonparamotor]

That's awesome!

[@Daviation1977]

Tucker was the reason I learned to fly paramotors two years ago. It's the best thing i ever did. The weather up here in Northumberland hasn't been great so far this year but here's hoping! Nice flight there Mark, what an adventure.

[@markallisonparamotor]

I love your channel name! Yeah this year has to be the worst I've experienced with aviation. It's got to turn good at some point, right?

[@MyNameIsJef]

hahaha that as a fun adventure! Quite eventful as well! glad you didn't lose the fuel tank! that would be a crazy twist! 😅😅

[@markallisonparamotor]

I was so glad to find it! Quite a long way for my wife to drive out and retrieve me. All good in the end, a proper adventure!

[@All_things_RC.]

Great entertaining video Mark as always. There's plenty of PPG stuff out there but you stand out there in my book. I travel in your part of the UK allot and keep one eye in the sky. I have had to delay my PPG training due to other commitments but when I take to the air later in the year it will be your approach to the sport and videos that will bring me to the cloud base. Happy flying a safe landings to all aviators

[@markallisonparamotor]

Thanks, best of luck with your training!

[@BrianTurboT]

Luvly Jubbly ... well done with that X-Wind take-off ... I'm fairly certain I'd have failed that one (legs not got a sprint in them these days lol )

[@markallisonparamotor]

I wasn't sure it was going to work to be honest, I was sweating!

[@leee2235]

atom 80 love it!!!

[@markallisonparamotor]

Yep!

[@frosty2331]

Brilliant mark next pmc I better hide my fuel 😂good to see you at parafest

[@markallisonparamotor]

You better had!

[@classicaudioadventures]

I would love to fly in the UK someday. It's so beautiful! Cheers!

[@markallisonparamotor]

The weather sucks most of the time, but when it's nice, it is good!

[@asquaddie]

Awesome, great adventure. Bet you're glad that woman chased you down the road and never reported you instead (well, it would be hard with no reg number :-) )

[@markallisonparamotor]

We nearly got away with it too, and I would have been none the wiser! 🤣

[@1978sjt]

Nice one! I still haven't found a Maccas I could potentially fly to here in Oz :p

[@markallisonparamotor]

There's got to be one somewhere... 😁

[@kevinberry5793]

Loved the video. Maybe next time you need to bring a bike lock with you to chain up the gas can. That type of thing would never happen in the US.🤣🤣🤣

[@markallisonparamotor]

Great idea!

[@doranish123]

Is it common in the UK to not have farm fields fenced in? I'd say >95% in the U.S. are.

[@markallisonparamotor]

Very common, although a lot of fields are fenced in. It depends where you are in the country. Often up North they use stone walls, and down South use hedgerows.

[@CrispyJacketStudios]

What App/s do you use for wind (and weather) forecasting please mate. I’m currently learning..

[@markallisonparamotor]

Met Office balloon forecast on the aviation service. You need to register to get it (free). xcweather is good too but I don't find it very accurate.

[@brianclarke4159]

What a great storyline, better than Tuckers

[@markallisonparamotor]

Haha thanks, most of it totally unplanned!

[@Jayhunter73]

Was this June 2nd by any chance? I was flying my Skyranger Nynja about that time and was nearby 2 paramotors over wicksteed park.

[@markallisonparamotor]

Yep we saw you! I wondered who it was, thanks for dropping by.

[@Jayhunter73]

What a coincidence. Just came by your video after watching a few of Tuckers. Going to have to get myself into paramotoring too I think.

[@PJ_PARA]

Classic! Henceforth you shall be, Dick Turnip, the crap highwayman 😂

[@markallisonparamotor]

🤣

[@caswhitmore1400]

😂

[@darthnater71]

see this is why you get a paramortor

[@markallisonparamotor]

You got it!

[@GregLukosek]

Where are you based? I live near St Neots just about to do my course

[@markallisonparamotor]

Near Bedford but I often fly from Little Gransden Airfield as shown in the video. You should pop over for a chat, not far for you.

[@GregLukosek]

@@markallisonparamotor Sweet. Im in Chawston, right next back cat roundabout. You will see me in the air at some point next month

[@artoodeetoo3064]

Is it still that cold over there to dress that heavily for a morning flight?

[@markallisonparamotor]

Sadly yes, even this morning it was 7C on the ground, but a toasty 11C at 1000 feet. In the afternoon though, it's nearer 21C

[@artoodeetoo3064]

@@markallisonparamotor Ok yeah that's much different than here in the States. Been 20C some mornings on its way to 30C during the day. Quite miserable actually, especially with humidity. At least the days are long. 😄

[@markallisonparamotor]

Yes sun rises at 04:40 and sets at 21:25 😁

[@StarvingDragon]

Mark, just a comment - LOVED the video but... At this point: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3qnfHuma82Ajc0si=ozHTPMDA8Ik-cBqy&t=935 I was getting a little worried you were about to have a camera prop strike. Perhaps it's not as close as it looks, but... just something to be aware of, if there's anything that can be done!?

[@markallisonparamotor]

Hey, thanks for the concern. It has never happened because it hangs higher than the prop tips. If the line length was longer it could potentially happen.

[@StarvingDragon]

@@markallisonparamotor Glad to hear it! I just worried if I didn't say anything it might catch you out in future! But, mind at ease! (I don't have a chase cam, so don't really know how they attach!)

[@dhavalbavada5113]

That looked great adventure ✈️🪂 on thief-craft 😅😅

[@markallisonparamotor]

It was!
