On 20/06/2013, Ukrainian pilot Mike Goncharov-Goryanskiy flew
412km on the GIN Tribe. This is the longest ever flight in
Europe—congratulations, Mike!

On his previous best flight of 325km in 2011, Mike dreamed of catching a glimpse
of the sea of Azov. But it was not visible through the ground haze. But this
time, he not only saw the sea, he landed next to it and went for a swim!

Mike started paragliding in 2007, making short flights with a winch. The
following year he bought a paramotor, which helped him learn how to find and use
thermals to stay in the air as long as possible. In 2010, he organized a winch
and returned to paragliding, flying several big triangles and 325km on his GIN
Tribe XS the following year.

His latest 412km flight was the first flight in Europe over 400km. The 8.5 hour
flight was achieved at an average speed of about 50km/h and with a maximum
height of 3000m. The plains of Ukraine are ideal for long XC flights and we look
forward to even longer flights in the future!
