Mad Skies

This is one very interesting way of launching a glider. During World War II many of these wooden constructions were used to transport men and equipment, towed behind C-47 Dakotas. I don’t think this launch method was widely used since it is a bit extreme and one might argue, somewhat crazy. Anyway, here’s the video of this weird launch.

Well I saw this and for about half an hour i couldn’t stop laughing. Oh yeah, that paraglider had a mind of its own. I can only imagine how that guy was feeling. He was trying to launch it and at one moment it seemed he nailed it. But not for long. That glider went up for a “solo”. What can I say? Funny.
