The Joy of Flying, Powered Parachute

Imagine the pure, unadulterated joy of flying, free-as-a-bird flying, wind-in-your-face flying. Then, combine that with the adventure of exploring a pristine river in the company of good friends, while you all share the same sky, the same exhilaration, the same joy of being alive. Come along and fly with us. While it may appear at times to be filmed on the Congo or Zambezi Rivers, you won't see any elephants or hippos here. In reality it was filmed on the Minnesota River, near Belle Plaine, Minnesota. If you enjoy this one, be sure to check out more of my many powered parachute videos. My favorite scenes: 2:24, 2:55, 4:27, 6:00, 7:33. A Steve Russell production. Take risks not to escape life, but not to let life escape.

Your beacons, what were they. Were they part of a nav set or or had you made a beacon?

[photoguy73]

@Jetairwayscaptain They are merely high intensity strobe lights which came as standard equipment.
