Paragliding at Mt. Tavor, Israel in and above the clouds - absolutely incredible! For the first time in Israel, I also experienced snow...in flight!

Shot using: Go Pro HD & Nikon Camera
Wing: Skywalk Cayenne 3 (Awesome Wing)
Harness: Apco Blade Comp Harness (very comfortable)
Instruments: Flymaster B1 Nav & Flytec 6005 Vario
Qualifications: ParaPro Level 5, CIVL, FAI Sport



Note:
There were no other pilots in the cloud or at cloud base, no air traffic that day and no forecasts for over development. I do NOT advise anyone to try this or condone cloud flying in any soaring aircraft - it is dangerous!

  • @anich92 XC stands for Cross Country (X being called a Cross in many countries like when you cross / tick something on a paper). The biggest magazine in paragliding is called Cross Country Magazine, username XCMag on youtube (using XC for cross country as well).
