My dad never took up Hang Gliding, even though he helped me launch a few times back in the 70s. His love was skiing. He finally hung it up when he was 96. Now at 99 his knees are bad and he walks with a cane. I'm just 69 and after watching this decided that, after nearly 50 years, it's time to start flying again. Seriously. I just booked some lessons!

Awesome videos mate my kids love them also. QLD bloody magical.

Looks great! So fun! I also would like to know... where is the "world's greatest"?

Nice one Paul!

Good job. Great place to fly.

Question please. What is the wind speed to allow these flying conditions?

Where is this my friend?

Good to see you back in the air Paul.

Nice to see how it’s done with flying between the Gully and Hill 60 then back again. Great looking conditions.

Hi im always wondering what strength wind can you fly in places like this...cheers

Looks like an awesome site !!! Well done !!

Falifun 😂 make a video explaining how you adapt the frame and the sail. Same battens for example? Kingpost cables ? Etc thank you.

This gives me the urge to do it again!

Magic place alright. Bet that wing and harness felt good too,,,

Nice…. love to visit and fly there….what planet is it on?

Magnifique ❤

Great music nice flying

Nice, I did what you do. Makes me want to come back. Great music, go the old doods.

I flew in my 30's for a couple of years. I'm 63 and I'm thinking of doing it again. I still ski and snowboard so I think I'm good to go. Where is this spot?

Nice, sorry 3 late. It took me back. I used to fly 30 years ago. I learned from Ian Jarman, not sure of the spelling. I got to hang 3, if that's still a thing and flew for about 2 to 3 years. Stanwell looks different from the air. I was thinking of doing it, I'm 63 and I would have to re train. Anyhow that's my story. Do you think I should go for it?

Woohoo!

I’m looking to get into HG but it’s super hard to find schools/instructors. I’m in Minnesota. Do yall have any contacts this way who instruct?

WOOHOO!!!!! I fly bags with a couple guys in their 80s and plenty in their 70s...

Hay nice vid., so you took it up at 46. I started last year {51}and I just can't get my foot in the door. Where do you go to get good help? I need a SO to finish my license and some gear too prefer new Malibu but it seems you can't even buy it. Learnt with Tony at Newcastle. I'm at Sunshine coast. The clubs are....mmmmm Just getting excuses worse than skydiving. Is there something happening south of Sydney or Victoria? Any safety offices out there? Swooper PPG RAA

Has this been sold?

Really enjoyed that, very chilled!

Awesome flying, great tunes, man… I SO want to visit and fly there too. 😁👍✈️

My UP comet would fly as well now as it did when I last flew it in 1990. The air is the same and when I flew I always flew for my own experience not for being the hottest pilot or the guy that flew the farthest. I knew guys that could with old gliders fly rings around pilots the pilots with the latest gear. Sure there’s tech improvements and performance advantages but those only matter if they matter to you. I say fly for yourself because when you are older those experiences are the ones that stay fresh.

How much do you weigh?

Living life !!! You are one with the birds. 👍👍

Really liked that one. Having another glider in the picture a lot was good I think…+ lots of action and the beachboys?

Only discovered recently that a Hill 60 was a feature in the WWI battlefield around Ypres in Belgium - I guess your Hill 60 was named in memoriam?

Those light single surface gliders (WW Falcons, etc.) are just made for that kind of flying. Have fun!

Where is this spot looks awesome

The worlds greatest?? What a dreamer...lolololol

What's with the nodding backwards and forwards? You don't appear to by applying any pitch pressure?

Perfect watch with my morning coffee. Just out of curiosity, what would you put in your logbook ( if you are logging your flights ) ? I hour flight, 12 touch and goes ?

Got to love a Fun1. Got to love flying at the Gully. Almost set up to come back and do both of those things, sold my shit, booked my flights, be there in the 1st week of May. Hope the weather holds,,, will be in touch. W
