Yes, you heard me.  I flew around earth in an ultralight.  No, that's is not supposed to say around THE earth.  I flew around earth, an airport in virginia.

Just look at him, so bold to do this amazing flight.

I've got a map in case I get lost
Image

And were off!!
Image

Taking one last look at the airport as my journey begins
Image

Ahh, so beautiful
Image

I just reached the halfway point...
Image

And look at this amazing structure! Oh what one sees on these journeys
Image

The picture taken by an onlooker as I get closer to home

Lining up for final
Image

And... after 10 grueling minutes of flying, I'm back on solid ground
Image

Who knows what adventure awaits this bold pilot and his ultralight?
Image

I hope you enjoyed my little journey around earth ;D

hahahahahha - Wow!! what an amazing feat of endurance Jake - I have just posted you a can of Red Bull.

Don't suppose you had time to notice, but I love the way the pilot moves forwards, back, left or right depending on what way you are moving the 'stick'.

Now go & have a lie down before your big 'ticker tape' parade!!

;D

Oh my god! The stunning scenery, the challenging weather conditions, the breathtaking views, the mountain turbulence!...   :o  :o  :o

But I do like the little birdy and the style you write!

Cheers!

Yea, I almost hit a cloud!!! oh, these trips are so dangerous.
But, it was fun, and definately worth the 20 bucks to replace the jeans, I dirtied them on the trip since there wasnt a potty.  10 minutes is way too long.
