My first true XC flight and fully narrated too! Wills Wing T2 144 hang glider launched from the Eliminator in Santa Barbara, CA and landed 19 miles away near Lake Casitas in Ojai.
Around 2:30 you said: one mistake and i loose all the flight. What kind of mistake? There are only mountains. We can´t see and place to land. Are the any chance to be forced to land in such inhospitable place? If so how do you have to proceed?
@666btl 'Mistake' refers to missing a thermal and failing to climb enough to proceed any further. There are some small, bailout landing zones, otherwise you land in the trees or tall bushes and hike out. Retrieving your gear is another matter.
Nicely done! The narration was great and the three-parter was better than anything on TV! Keep them coming! Very inspiring to a new H2.

@FlyingFish4031 Gosh, Thanks! I have another, much more recent narrated video you might enjoy. I'll send it to you. Cheers, Jonathan

Showing at the end of the video all the path was a great idea. It gives to the viewer the real dimension of the flight.
