nice video by the way

[jimsteele33]

@Mrfrekboys Thanks. Most of it is in Arkansas, at and near Mt. Nebo St. Park and Magazine Mt. State Park.

I love the peaceful music that you chose...I will never forget the first time I saw my husband Hangglide...way back in 1977...he took 3 running steps and the only sound was the air filling the sail...it was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. The closest thing to being a bird that man can experience! My husbands Hang 4 pilot card is #65...so you can see he started flying when the sport was quite new. He flew regularly with Bob & Chris Wills, Dean Tanji and Chris Price...Thanks

Hey Jim- It's great to see that you're still up there. I had a lot of fun flying and camping with you Arkansas boys in '86, on my vists from St. Louis and Chattanooga. I've been grounded since '91, due to a back injury, ( non-flying ), but I am happy for the rest who can still taste the freedom of flight. God, you can't imagine how much I envy you. Enjoy and savor every minute of flight, 'cause time has a way of sneaking up, and clipping your wings. - B.J. Schulte P.S. Love your videos!

[jimsteele33]

@braymanj Hi B.J. - Great to hear from you, and thanks for the nice comments. Those were some great days, camping out on top of Mag and Nebo, flying every chance we got. I miss those days. Keep watching, I should have more videos before long.

[PassyYakov]

damn so high

[KonradT4]

Ah yes, Pachelbel, yes, that is hang gliding for me too. Beautiful air to air work, well done. It's not easy to get that sort of footage. Now you must come to the dark side, get a powered harness for you to experience perfect HG freedom!

[StreetHypnosisOz]

I usually like trance music when I'm up in the air, but I'm going to try classical after watching this!

[pjfingers1]

Absolutely brilliant footage. It really helps bring

that special feeling down here to the earthly plane. Thanks!

[masterpatric07]

where is that place?

[Buddha2707]

Awesome!!! Beautiful video! You captured the feeling of living the dream hang gliding. Thanks for sharing.

[Ayerstairs]

Awesome vid, Jim!

[markandjackif]

That's why we do it mate !!

beautiful footage, i loved it !!

Want to see more of your work Jim.

[lectocom]

That's really exhilarating to watch — and a great choice of music, too!

[starceff]

Wow! It's the best video about hang gliding i've ever seen.

[jimsteele33]

Just want to say Thank You for all the kind comments! Our flying season is about to get started, and I hope to make more videos soon.

[giacomovolo]

I'm an italian pilot.

Jim this video is the best.

Thank you

[mattskinner74]

I'm at a loss for words Jim. Simply AMAZING!!! 5*****

[inspirelife06]

wow listening music n watching flyng Hang Gliding at the same time was sooo beauiful! It makes me want to fly with clam music. I agree with pdutube. This should be an IMAX movie :D

[Wasserkuppenkunde]

Absolutely perfect hang gliding video !!!

This video describes why we hang glide !

5 *****

[Lawrence7of9]

Nice video & music! Why wouldn't you want to experience what everyone dreams of at some time in their life? We seem to be a privileged few, that know the secret... cheers for sharing yours.

[grcvv]

that is why i fly ...

First flew a hang glider mid 70s, into the mid 80s, haven't flown on my own since, this video brings tears to my eyes. If only!!

[wolkenbummler]

You videos are the best HG-videos I have ever seen. It perfectly reflects the mood of a beautyful HG-day.

Sadly there are days when this sport is less romantic.

[jimsteele33]

Thank you!!

[rajeshkrishan]

Lovely is the word. Though I myself am an amateur hang glider and feel really bad at lack of opportunities in India and cannot really afford to go abroad frequently to hang-glide; so I just watch videos and feel good. Thanks pal.

[jimsteele33]

Thanks to everyone for the nice comments, and I'm glad you enjoy the vid. That's why I make them!

To Simon - The music is a classical piece composed by Pachelbel. It's called "Canon in D Major", or sometimes just "Canon".

[sgrugno]

Hi!

i'm a "young" hangglider, from Italy,

i love your video's, every time i watch, i feel nice emotions and my hands start to sweat(hope it's right mean), i think about my flights, and i feel near you.

i like to know the composer's name of that song. i like it...really

i appreciate your atention.

Simon

[pdutube]

WOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

This should be an IMAX movie! Thanks for posting! I can't wait to do this!

[Cowpokee]

[steviewonderwind]

[knumb]
