Powered Hang Gliders At The Salton Sea Free Camping VIDEO

Powered Hang Gliders At The Salton Sea.
I make use of my new Sigma 159 600 mm Sport lens and try the lens doubler for 300 1200 mm photography. Very fun to watch. These are highlights. I also interview one of the pilots. Quick view of Salton City.

    You'll know you are getting close (5 miles away) to the Salton Sea by the dead fish stench.....

    I'm pretty good at flying parasail kites; and was invited once, to try a powered parasail, but I wasn't sure that I could RUN with an 80-lb motor strapped to my back, to get the thing aloft....LOL!


    The pilot I interviewed the last third or so of the video is retired since 12 31 2021. 66 and flying, just saying.
