PEDAL POWER FLYING ACROSS the ENGLISH CHANNEL! Pilot Bryan Allen Tells All...

Bryan Allen is a renowned American hang glider pilot and cyclist who is best known for his remarkable feats in human-powered flight. He was both the pilot and powerplant behind the two aircraft that won the first two Kremer prizes for human-powered flight: the Gossamer Condor in 1977, and Gossamer Albatross in 1979, culminating in the amazing feat of crossing the English Channel by air using only human power. During the flight, Bryan Allen established two World Records, once for Straight Distance at 22.26 miles, and another for Duration at 2 hours, 49 minutes.

Jeff, what a fascinating interview of Bryan Allen, who is an outstanding, adventurous aviator!

[@musicman53]

I am not an aviator but I am an engineer and a 71 year old cyclist, and that entire interview was gripping! Bryan is a great raconteur and a superb but humble athlete and hang glider pilot, many thanks from New Zealand for the blast from the past!

I like planes and music too hi from Welly!

[@teresagoree4492]

Wow so fascinating! I just recently came to know Bryan through his wife Michele, my new friend. He is a very interesting guy with so much to share. Thanks Bryan!

WOW, I was a new Private pilot back than and for a while hung with a bunch of hang glider enthusiasts, we watched most of them get killed flying that stuff.

15 minutes in and wondering why Tom isn't in charge of ...oh IDK maintenance, running for parts...?
