One of our three friends in ~~France~~ Norway just posted a few videos of hang gliding. I'm a pilot, which scares me a little, but this scares me a lot. I can't imagine leaping off something high enough to make it safe.

That's one of the things I've always wanted to try...

I'm from Norway actually. And flying off a mountain feels safer to me than climbing a ladder. I trust my wing more than I do a ladder.

Snowy pictures are from Norway, the others are from a holiday in Annecy, France.

Jumping From A Plane At 800 Feet With Full Combat Equipped Is A Rush.

I Had 164 Jumps When I Quit (Retired)

But You Can't Take Many Picture At 800 Feet.

I Have To Admit I Always Wanted To Hang Glide But Never Did.

At the 82nd Airborne Museum They Have A WWII Glider

Jumping From A Plane

something else I've always wanted to try!

Unfortunately it's now unlikely to happen - my wife values me too much... for some reason....
