Was watching this with the volume muted and the Moody Blues tune "Watching and Waiting" playing in the background. Perfect sound track for an AMAZING soaring video.
I had my first soaring lesson this year - hang gliding (especially when towed aloft by an ultralight) is the BEST IDEA EVER! :-D
Soaring at Monte Cucco is not that fun, especially if the clouds are that deep.
After a while it gets really boring. There are better places to fly in europe!
Of course, for visiters it's really interesting there, because you have a lot to see... in opposite to a really good area, where the gliders start and quickly disappear into the sky.
I'm a helicopter pilot for the US Military and I feel I have one of the best jobs in the world. I can't think of a better hobby to have to go along with it. I watched this video and a few others a couple weeks ago and I find myself coming back about once a day watching it. Anyways, it has inspired me to begin taking lessons at lookout montain in Georgia and I'll be starting in April. I can't wait. Thanks for sharing.
...ah!!!....the perfect rounded hill! wow!

Oh my god, that is something I would love to do. The feeling of running and then leaping...and then flying. It's like flying in dreams.

With the correct training and self discipline a good pilot will not have to experience your negative comment.Its obvious you have no idea! :-D

I thought you wanted him to "just try it" without all the training....

@AMMLfan
Since i was a child i deamed i could fly!
13 years ago i started hang gliding... and it's even better!!!
The only "bad news": Now don't dream of it any more.
InderNett4tube 2 years ago
So it's the SAME awesome feeling - and even better?
Well, if you can fly in real life, I guess there's not as much need for you to dream about it. :)

...that low-to-ground soaring is possible
because of excellent steady headwind and
'ground effect' which adds extra buoyancy.
