Thermal flying near the trees is not for beginners

5th September 2010.
I got my paradliging license one week before that day, and felt way too confident ! Feed the squirrels while flying wasn't such a good idea.

No injuries. The wing is ok. A good lesson :)

I now this place. I almost scared the squirrels at the same way when the wind suddenly turned it's direction. Did you managed to get off the trees safely? Wish you better flights for future!!!

Cheers

Using the gopro myself, it's a good educational video for all pilots

Hope you're not losing the spirit for flying, be careful next time.

Grtz.

Nice video, glad you are ok :D

Next time take 5 more meters as safety margin, and dont fly so slow!
