Vey scenic coastal flight of over 20km in South Australia which
was made by a group of about six hang glider and one paraglider pilot here in
June. It was recorded and edited by our “Flying Dutchman” – Miguel de Jong ( <miguelde> ) on his C4.
Launch was from Cape Jervis and landings were near Normanville. We had hang
glider pilots Paul Kelley, Ross Wilkinson, Steve Papai and Ralph Knobloch. Also,
our one paraglider pilot was Brooke Whatnall – who became only the second
paraglider pilot pilot ever to complete the South Australia “Coast Run”
including crossing Rapid Bay – about 2km over water (near the middle of the
video).
Thanks to Ian Horne, who also flew on the day, but top-landed near launch so he
could grab the car and pick us up. (Ian was only flying a floater on the day).
Ian has recently done the coast run for his first time – on a borrowed high
performance glider. (He first took up hang gliding flying back in the 1970s).
