I got to fly there in the 1980's. Most beautiful place I have ever flown. On one flight I had a good launch made the left hand turn as did this pilot. Air was very smooth, and as I rounded the corner to cruise alongside the cliff, I see two people sitting on a platform attached to the steep rock face. They had spent the night there. I yelled at the Guy and Gal, "you guys are Crazy!!. They yell back to me, "You are Crazy". All in good fun, and I returned to seeing how much of this magnificent Gorge I can visit. Great landing, then awaited my brother as he had launched after me. I ma 70 years old now and chose to stop flying due to some health issues. Hope you get many great years of flying.
Hello old bird, You are now like an old bird that you had the feeling of a free bird for a long time because of these flights, what a beautiful feeling you really experienced, may God protect you dear friend, I hope you are healthy and healthy 👋❤️ حسین از ایران 👋 ❤️

Super nice demo of how it is to really fly there. I made my approach to the upper Y falls more to the right parallel to the wall and flew THROUGH the falls :-) Such an awesome place to fly. Nice landing: you stuck it. Loved no music just how it really is. I flew there in the '90's. GREAT Video!
Thank you thank you! I flew Wills Wings in the late 70's and I could feel every move you made. Obviously the new gliders are a lot better than the ones we had.
I had about a dozen flights off Glacier Point in the mid 70’s. A couple of flights off Sentinel Dome. Landed in the Ahwahnee Meadows and Leidig Meadows. The “Flying Ranger” Dean Paschall oversaw the flight operations, which were authorized in the early mornings to minimize spectators. As a result, very little thermal lift. You would get a little lift as the granite was quick to heat. The glide ratio was 4 to 1 in the early 70’s so the flight was relatively short. No other venue came close to the beauty of hang gliding in Yosemite. My memories of these flights are still vivid all these years later.
this is an amazingly beautiful perspective! thank you for sharing. please do this again with a crazy high res camera!!! If this would be done with vr i think a lot of people would totaly loose their mind! the view without the risk! omg that perfect balls to the wall landing!
You are a Master at what you do. Thanks for sharing this great video. Could you install a camera in front to have a clear view from your eyes point of view. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Buenas tardes. Questions.... Donde va colocada la cámara que va filmando su travesía? Cuando Ud terminó en tierra, soltó el aparato y luego quitó algo, esa era una camara ? Cuando inició en el aire, se amarró lo que cubre sus piernas, antes de aterrizar, lo soltó y me parece, que le aumentó su velocidad para llegar a tierra. Seria interesante poder ver de frente como funcionan los amarres. Gracias.
Only wish I flew there! Closest I got to a flight like that was when I was with about eight or ten guys that flew off the north face of Mount Washington. I was so new I hadn’t done a cliff launch yet. The mountain was too intimidating for me. On hindsight, I could have done it no problem. ☹️
My first flight from Glacier Point was a year before your flight here. I was so intimidated by this place I flew straight out to mid-valley, not sure where LZ was or my sink rate or when would be over the LZ, just playing it conservatively. (Google or UA-cam "Will Hill Yosemite"). Your flight plan caught intimate, spectacular images of the valley. I was wondering how you would set up landing when I saw the water in the LZ. No problem. Relaxed S turn low and bank in. Nicely done.
Yosemite is one of a small number of sites which require an Advanced (H4) rating to fly, the highest rating generally issued: parkplanning.nps.gov/projectHome.cfm?projectID=21599 Advanced pilots must have flown at least 250 flights and 75 hours of airtime, plus a bunch of skills requirements including being able to consistently land within 25 feet of a target. So, yep! Very skilled pilot.
That was a fun ride. My question is why are they letting all those dead trees stand instead of removing them and replacing with new growth? Its no wonder California fires get worse every summer.
It was worrying me as he was moving toward the launch site that he wasn't clipped in:( I've personally witnessed someone launching without clipping the harness. luckily that time ended well

This is one of the most thrilling, beautiful videos I’ve ever seen. Gorgeous photography too - perfect
light.
One of the most beautiful national parks I've ever seen. Definitely on my bucket list.

Chris flew through the falls too, this is just one of many flights from this trip.
I would cry from sheer pleasure this looks insane!!!
Fourteen minutes of absolutely fantastic video.
Thank you so much for posting.
Wonderful flying skills and beautiful scenery.
Breathtaking, thanks for not adding any obnoxious music!

Ya Allah pak rahama show everyone's right way inshaAllah ameen sumameen from Pakistan,
From Brazil ... total freedom, this is priceless
Wow. Just wow. Oh so beautiful.
Smooth, spectacular and skilled.
Thank you so much for this !
Bird like flight and view... Just the sounds of wind and equipment doing the job... Awesome session! Congrats
Good to see this one connected himself to the glider properly.
Still just one carabiner though!
@@KingofRoath
And a parachute attached to his chest...so not too dangerous if the carabiner broke.
...Looks like it's among the most spectacular places to fly in the USA...wow...
Great video, thanks for sharing and please do not remove.
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for the awesome ride. Be safe.

Yosemite, such a special, spiritual place on earth. It must be amazing to fly it like that.
first time I watched 14mins without any narrative or music and don't regret at all. noice!
Unglaublich schöne Bilder, vollkommen überwältigend ! Danke fürs mitnehmen .....
this is an amazingly beautiful perspective! thank you for sharing. please do this again with a crazy high res camera!!! If this would be done with vr i think a lot of people would totaly loose their mind! the view without the risk!
omg that perfect balls to the wall landing!
Great video. So inspiring! A goal of mine is to get rated to fly there one day. Thanks for sharing.
The most stunning flight I’ve watched
I used to fly experimental aircraft , this seems much more tranquil not having a loud motor . Breathtaking view 👍👍👍
Bravo! Congrats on perfect flight, and thank you for sharing your experience 😊
Really amazing. I love pure videos without music. Amazing views. Thank you for sharing.
absolutely the most beautiful
Love to watch ya......from the safety of my living room...No way on Gods green earth could you get me up there...but it looks a maze n....for sure...
Congratulations! Perfect! Awesome!
God bless you. From Rio Brazil.
So Beautiful. Thank you!
Absloutely awesome, great video👍
Glorious. I love Yosemite
EPIC IS ALL I CAN SAY! LOVE YOSEMITE! WHAT A VIEW!
What an interesting pespective, so serene and beautiful.
It’s hard to comprehend just how high up he is unless you’ve been on top of these mountains
You have given me the itch to get back into hhg , man that was awesome
Wow thank you so much for beautiful ride. 👍 Namste god bless you.
Omg. That flight was amazing! The landing was incredible!
El mejor viaje que tuve en parapente en mi vida ¡¡Simplemente Hermoso!!
What a lovely experience 👍 thanks for sharing 👍
Very pretty place to fly. Not much lift about. Just the occasional beep of the vario. Nice 👍
That place is amazing. Thanks for sharing this,
So much more peaceful than wingsuit flying!
To be technical wing suits don't fly. They offer controlled decent.
@@deanfitzgerald8063 Okay, wingsuit gliding.
You are a Master at what you do.
Thanks for sharing this great video.
Could you install a camera in front to have a clear view from your eyes point of view.
Thanks and keep up the great work.
what a beautiful flight...maybe one day we can actually soar and thermal there.
Fantastic
Thank you 💕
That's cool didn't even know the park allows that
What an enjoyable flight to view!
Beautiful video!
I want to yosemite once. I will never forget the magstic things ive seen
A Visão dos pássaros grandes , emocionante !!
Buenas tardes.
Questions....
Donde va colocada la cámara que va filmando su travesía? Cuando Ud terminó en tierra, soltó el aparato y luego quitó algo, esa era una camara ?
Cuando inició en el aire, se amarró lo que cubre sus piernas, antes de aterrizar, lo soltó y me parece, que le aumentó su velocidad para llegar a tierra. Seria interesante poder ver de frente como funcionan los amarres.
Gracias.
Very brave landing approach! And very accurate
In the words of crush from finding Nemo. You have serious thrill issues dude that's...awesome!!!!!
Top of my bucket list!
amazing how slowly it descended

Por 3ra, vez lo miro, que cascada que pulso pa dar la vuelta.
I'm a wanna be but I had to stop and enjoy the view of Half Dome. Wow! Have friends that do this but never went out with them.
Beautiful
I wish to experience this one day

有難うございます。
That was perfect. Makes me want to dust off my kite and go for a fly.
Excellent.... Enjoy.....👍👍👍👍👍
This is amazing
Sem música, como um pássaro 🐦. Porreta.. 👍👍👏👏👏👏😁
Cool men... It feels like I also flying with him.... 😊
Wow, you must have thought you were in heaven! Unbelievable man!
Thank you.
And a very dangerous one among all that ragged terrain! Apparently he must have many hours of experience doing this.

It's looks great
Wow! Amazing flight.
The sound of silence.....
Epic. The main reason to get a H4.

How can you carry the glider to take-off area?
great video nice landing!
Awesome ride ...
Awesome 👍
That looks so peaceful ☺️
... silence is golden
what's he pulling on that string all the time for?
Nice preflight procedure and check.
It's amazing how long gliders stay in flight.
Amazing video!
