I looked over my shoulder and there he was! Just about to wing touch. I was scared! Is there a hot line I can call?
The winds were going to be epic! Perfect conditions!
I talked to the boss and asked if I could cut out a half hour early.
I picked up the camera man and we were off to the skies.
If you are in Southern California you need to make this a stop.
The Torrey Pines Glider Port is one of the most beautiful places in San Diego.
Today we are going to play around in the air.
The wind direction was south. So you need to consider wind shadows and rotors coming off of the back of some of the hills.
I didn't put it in the video, but I had to make a quick landing right after launch because of a messed up pod harness flap.
After a few minutes in the air, I knew it was going to be epic!
Flying out over the water gives you a strange feeling.
When the wind is at 8mph, landing is so much smoother.
On saturday I was having such a hard time landing. I didn't want to land too far back because of the rotor, and I didn't want to over shoot the LZ because of embarrassment.
Another strange feeling is when you know that someone is following you and you lean back to see by looking upside down.
There he was! The Parastalker! Everyone fears the parastalker because he will follow you and take pictures and then post them on the internet!
The sunset was epic!
Time to come in for a landing.
My son got a great video of me landing. Make sure you check it out.

Thanks for another truly awesome ride over the cliffs. I especially loved the complete pilot POV landing sequence with no cuts. Sunset was great. Wingman too. Wow. Thanks. I've gotta go for a ride there one day.
Is that bench landing for real? :O
😄😇😄
Thanks for watching! It really is super fun. The bench landing is legit. I don't know those guys, but they are amazing pilots for sure.
The feeling of flying in the sky is really amazing.
i like this post.
Ahh man! The sound of that sea from that altitude reminds me so much of Rhossili. WHY DID I SELL THE GEAR!!!??? Boohoo :(
Oh yeah, I remember, the weather is constantly crap in the UK LOL
Could be cloud-suck or maybe he's just 'light on his glider'?
Bye-Bye Sun.
Is it the '30mins after sun-set' rule just like here in UK?
Hey @captainobviou3, great post! I enjoyed your content. Keep up the good work! It's always nice to see good content here on Steemit! :)
Flying in the sky flying flying I wished to fly a lot. I think if I could be a bird I would have been better. ।।..................
