- It’s a rare opportunity that the weather and longer summer evenings line up with the Queenstown airport closing early. It happened on the first of January though which made it possible to soar through the first sunset of the year.
Came here from your link on Pure Glide. Was not disappointed. Thanks for sharing. Almost feeling a little homesick. ;-)
I like it !
My favorite hang gliding video so far this year...and I watch a lot. Very cool to fly a site you cant normally fly. Makes me giddy just thinking about it.
The moment before the start, wind blowing up through the grass, the sunlight - perfect man ! jelly on that location mate
Amazing nice one mate!
This is so cool, I wish things could work that well here in Brazil. I live nearby FLN airport and some 20y+ ago there used to be a HG spot on the mountains at it's side, very similar to this site you show. Not allowed anymore... But could be done with some well defined boundaries, except the authorities will never be that flexible.
Its a shame when it works out like that. Cling on to what ever airspace you have with both hands!!
@@petehelliwell we do have a nice spot at Lagoa (Florianópolis) but about to lose the LZ... Will be left with landing on shallow water by the shore, but it's salty, or crossing over to dunes or a beach if we can climb high enough.... It will probably become a spot for beaten old gliders.
I'm not too hopeful about my hometown although beach flying is still an option in 3 spots.
So NZ no where else in the world could you do that.
