Just got back from LMFP! We will be going back for spring break next year to get certified to fly off the big training hill:) If you’ve never been hang gliding, you really should try it. The first time you successfully fly off the training hill is an amazing experience. Also, make sure you get tandem flights in your package. Getting towed up to 2000 feet and gliding back to earth might give you a new perspective on life. Can’t wait to go back to lookout mountain 😀

Beautiful

All those Pilots did a pretty good job of conveying how awesome it is to Fly a Hang Glider. I think about when Chuck who had flown a P-51 in world War. He was the first Piot to break the Sound Barrier. He flew all sorts of radical state of the Art Fighters, and Rocket Planes. I think about reading how He Flew Tandem with One of Us Hang Glider Pilots. Well after Th landed, Chuck commented: "That's the Flying Est Flying there is". Heck Chuck knew what a Hot Aircraft was. Regarding the People in the Video. They Conveyed really well just how Awesome it is that We can Fly our H-G's.

Fantastic documentary ❤ regards from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃

C'est comme le gâteau au chocolat, trop bon, on en prend une deuxième part.

Great documentary. I quit racing motorcycles to go flying. My first mountain flight was off Lookout before there was any ramp a couple hundred yards north of the current ramp in 1975. Flew there with my best friend from Ohio. Hang Gliding Magazine was called “Ground Skimmer” back then and was just a folded 4 page publication. Many fantastic memories at Lookout, Grandfather, Sleeping Bear Dunes, High Rock Maryland, Whitwell, Hensons Gap, etc. Had better performing wings but my Oly 160 was the most fun. Being at cloud base without a motor is something special. Thanks for creating this excellent video. ✈

I grew up with Mike Moore, a hang glider inventor. He was a close friend of my aunts and lived 75 feet from me. He died doing what he loved best. You earned your eternal wings 🪽🖤RIP🖤🪽

Instruction from an instructor who just learned a week before! What a time to get into hang gliding.

YeeHaw! Hadn't watched this in awhile since it first came out. Dang, it's even better the 2nd time! Thanks Jem, you've captured a host of what flying hangs is all about. Sky Out! Steve

I flew LMFP in the early 90's. We were used to flying 100 ft bluff and very small mtns here in Canada so going to lookout was a real treat. One thing the local recognized was our ability to soar very small stuff. We did mucg better than the locals when it came to scratching. I milked a small thermal from 200 ft off the deck and managed to get over-launch. good times

Great documentary, was awesomeness to see everyone. Stumbled across this looking for my LMFP fam. missing their beautiful faces🥰

If you let paper and pride get in the way flying!!!! Kiss is all I can say! We are all lucky to share the sky together. I'm a PPG pilot but would love to hang glide in the near future 🙂

How to buy flying glider lm interested to fly

Nice to see another soaring Moore, we definitely fly Moore lol. I’m a California pilot, my local sites are Dunlap, Ca (yes another Dunlap but in Cali) and Tollhouse, Ca. We’ve got a couple great sites here, but I’d love to travel east and try out your sites. Happy landings and smooth soaring.

Great compilation! Got my H1, H2, and aerotow ratings at LMFP. (Thor was one of my aerotow instructors.) One of the best, if not the best, places to fly in the country. Matt, and the whole staff, are dedicated to safety and the success of their students.

Hope you got the issues resolved. Having several of these in a rental building, I have learned an experience tech can resolve the issues fast. Have you looked into the magnets that are inside the gas valves and part of the flame failure system? This was an issue with one of the units I own..

This is amazing! Thanks for it. I promised myself this is the year I will finish my license and this movie reconfirms that decision. I originally flew with Kip many years ago. See you on the hill!

very great vid from our american cousins!

Outstanding documentary! I started flying back on the 70s and think I would enjoy a trip to LMFP.

Terrific video. I saw on kitestrings, that the tandem pilot involved in the 37:50 accident had a tow plane crash in Florida 2020.

Same here after 2 year of battling with them to repair mine with burners not staying lit the worst was dripping grease from the oven onto the floor one technician finally sent the pictures of two holes in the back where it was coming from they said it was a manufacturers defect not properly seamed at the factory cps finally said they’ll have to warranty it out. Appliances connection was supposed to swap it out now they’re out of business and I’m stuck with this horrible stove do not buy.

Oh no! I also have one I bought within the last year. One of the knobs is no longer staying on and so I knocked it off onto the floor and dented it and tried to go on the website to see how much a replacement is and none of their websites are working. We also are randomly having issues with the double burner! I am so sad to see you are having issues as well because the reviews were so good and I was so excited to get this range.

Very similar issues. We’ve had ours for a year as well and never had a fully functional range. As of today, I just found out that superior marketing is no longer Ilve USA’s warranty company. The Ilve USA website is not working as of today as well. We’re currently 4 months into waiting for our next batch of parts and I was in the process of working on receiving a replacement range from Ilve and now everything is in limbo.

Like a true master this man makes it look effortless.

At first I thought that was the voice of Peter Coyote narrating. 😆 Seriously, I finally got to watch this, and it is even better, and broader, than I expected. How gut-wrenching, that you witnessed the tandem crash from the air. I was at launch, napping in my car, and when I awoke the normal buzz of activity had taken a terrible change. I wondered what it meant, that I had slept through such a tragedy. But I had made the trip to fly, and the next day (or day after?) I did fly too.

It's has a feeling of home for me and hopefully it goes on forever

Guys and gals involved in this video, outstanding job!! I loved it!!! This video captured what Hang Gliding is all about!!! Signed: Former Hang Gliding Pilot in the late 70s and early 80’s. Also former instructor with So Cal School of Hang Gliding which is now called Wind Sports in Southern California. Trivia most may not know: Owner Joe Greblo along with Rich Grigsby, looking for an even better business design (and living in So Cal) brought on wind surfing as an additional way to expand the business. Along with learning Hang Gliding with the company I learned wind surfing through the company. Joe told me, we are going to change the name to Wind Sports as it’s not just Hang Gliding. Joe and Krissy, his wife, are some of the finest people I have ever known. Miss them, miss the sport. Thanks for the video!!!

Hm.. the Rivian is perhaps a vehicle with some Off Road capabiity. But is ist also Over Landing Capable? Means would you trust it to go from Alaska all way down to Tierra del Fuego / Trans Americana? Repair it in the middle of nowhere? Where would you charge it in the middle of nowhere e.g. when going through Africa - how long will you wait to charge it from solar / wind? what about customizing capability? Perhaps we have to distinguish between vehicles that are made for an off road park as a family outing - be back home for BBQ or doing serious expedition works in area with no infrastructure. As design is a matter of taste.. my taste is not met. But for an utility - function / capability first. - A vehicle is only considered if an off roader meets also serious overlanding capability. My opinion..

WWWOOOWWWW❤❤🎉

Awesome story, Me and my son stumbled upon the launch site about 10 years ago when he was starting power lineman training at SLTC in Trenton. Being a private pilot and aircraft mechanic I couldn’t help myself, so we got out and helped a couple people set up to launch. Someday I hope to make it back there for some training and flying, so glad to see everything go well down there.

Very nicely done video about a legendary site and the legends who made it happen. Kudos. 43:25. A great shot of the stone entry to the local cemetery where Dennis Quaid was buried (The Night the Lights went out in GA)

Can a 72 year old whos in fairly good shape take up this sport ?

Thank you for this awesome video. Ive taken lessons at lookout mountain. I pulled my hamstring two different times. My advice is get your lower body strong and stretched out before sprinting down the bunny hills. I really enjoyed the aerotow . Very good teachers.

Wow what a video, I started paragliding last year and I have become enamored with hang gliding since then as well. My paragliding memories are some of the great moments in my life that can bring me to tears of joy just thinking about them. Watching this video brings me those feelings as well as I remember some of them.

thanks so much,i really enjoyed every moment of your story.does anyone know the name of that piece of brian finnegan that he is playing close to the end on that beautiful little bambooflute?

great movie I am from Ukraine, glad to be involved in this wonderful sport. it is a pity that there is a war going on in our country and we cannot fly

Wow, what a phenomenal documentary! Patrick seems so humble, curious, and dedicated to the craft. The adoration (and music) of his all star customers speaks volumes. Thanks for posting this.

I’m a 76 year old GA pilot with about 2500 hours SEL and 400 hours in gliders. I live in Southport North Carolina. I think I’m gonna set up a trip to the Outer Banks to give it a try. Great video.

Ugggg I am having same issues with Ilve nostalgic 36 in range….the double burner won’t stay lit. I did bake my Thanksgiving Turkey no issues, now I am scared after seeing your video. Going to try and pursue customer service….I have had mine only 5 months

Yes I cannot recommend this stove to anyone either. It is not reliable.

I have different types of paragliders I got tandem wings and a regular paraglider I need someone to tell me if I could go here and fly with it and does it cost anything I don't need no training or nothing like that I just need a place where I can go and fly off of a mountain

Great remember from brothers of their flying life. I started my flying dream with hang gliding in1976. My wife gave me premission to live two dreams, flying and my famaly . I would also like to say thank you to all the pilots wives, you are the best. Warm greetings to all my brothers in the world Wolfgang from Bavaria in Germany

❤❤❤❤ Doctor foziya Afghan ❤❤❤❤

I am so happy this documentary was made! I've always dreamed about hanggliding and just now I am finishing my course here in Europe, in Czech Republic particularly :D I was smiling throughout every minute of this film ^^ Good luck and let's meet in the air everyone :) Hopefully at Lookout Mountain someday

50:23 wow, what an amazing experience!

Hey,Can we Collaborate on Rivian accessories about your CZcams video?
