Checking out the rain-revived landscape of the Bay Area from my hang-glider

Just came back from Las Vegas and it was pretty green for there as well.

Your flights seem surreal to me but I know you're actually up there experiencing, feeling and seeing this for real. I flew for 16 years beginning in 1974 but now I'm an old man who rides motorcycles instead. Memories of my flights have lasted me a lifetime and hanggliding added so much enjoyment to my life. Some day you will look back, as I do now, and think to yourself, "that was a special time in my life and I'm so glad I did that". I enjoy your beautiful videos (and you bird photos I might add).

Thanks Gary, glad you got those extra special experiences floating above beautiful scenery too. A big part of my motivation to make these videos is so I can watch these when I'm longer able to fly and re-live those memories.

Thanks, rarely get to see any real soaring there.

Ed Levin?

[@sohamhanggliding]

No, this is Mission peak launch. I didn't fly to Ed Levin this flight, but normally we do fly to Ed Levin and back from Mission.

@@sohamhanggliding I did my paraglider training at Ed Levin, never got above 400ft and never went back after completing my p2, and the environment looked similar since they are so close to one another. Your flight looked very nice, hopefully soon I'll be able to go there!
