Aaah, flying! Who has never envied those lucky birds for their ability to defy gravity? :D
My father flies a Storch, an ultralight aircraft (like the one you can find on
this page). That's one cool little airplane, a soccer field lengths is more than enough to take off and two fingers are enough to handle the ultra precise stick.
What I have done years ago and miss a lot is paragliding! With a friend, I went in some French mountains for one week with a flying school, this was absolutely awesome! Oh my, now I'm stuck
again in a loop of watching various paragliding videos (made by others), like those:
edit: And yet another! :D
