This is some in-air footage of my Microlight experience at Hervey Bay, Australia.

Microlight flying is a safe and amazing way to experience aviation!

There is nothing like the rush of the wind in your face and the raw control you get with a tilt-shift aircraft.

If you are into aviation, have a go at this!

Music in film-clip:
The Watchmen - My Life is a Stereo
U2 - Elevate

  • i wouldn´t like to be onboard when the pilot tried to show-off releasing his hands off the wing control at 8ft from the ground, one blink and u2 are dead.

  • @rodolphorgcf only released one hand ;)

  • im from hervey bay and i fly the planes over to fraser island. microlights are a little out of my comfort zone but i bet they would be fun it they are your thing. sweet video, gives people the chance to see what we see nearly every day

  • I must admit, flying a Cessna is definitely a lot more comfortable, but nothing beats the wind in your face sometimes. :)

  • Love that video mate, brilliant...i wanna so much go back and live in W.A, how much for your microlight liscence in Oz?Here in U.k 4k gbp, a lot of cash and the flying days are few and far between in Scotland...Get back to Australia one day. Fly Safe.

  • Not sure of the licence / training cost exactly, but I'll bet its probably 40% cheaper than the UK :)

    Did you notice I was flying in shorts? lol, that's why I love OZ, the weather :)

see all

  • Nice video, I used to fly from Bundaberg 30yrs ago now ! but fly in UK now. Used to be Microlights, just transferring to Motorgliders. Hervey Bay looks to have changed a lot too. Iv'e done some vids if you want a look at UK flying.

  • Great video and good choice of music

    I live in the bay but am too chicken to go up in that.

    Cheers Ant

  • I must fly down there again one day, it's beautiful down there. It's been a while since i flew down to Hervey Bay. I fly out of Caboolture on the north side of Brissy. Well done on your video, you put it together well.

    Happy flying!

  • Whats a beautiful view !!

    Hight and safe flights.

    Greetings from Poland :)

  • i bet i could make one. just chop out a 4 cylinder from a junker, weld some aluminum into a frame, make a wing from some sheet metal and pipe cover it in garbage sacs and your ready to go. nice vid.

  • nice video mate! the view is stunning!!
