Fly OVERLAND with Paul Guschlbauer

Some of you may recall Paul's story here from earlier this year. He's back with a grand idea to fly from Barrow, Alaska to the southern tip of Argentina in his Super Cub.

He's about 6 or 7 episodes into a really great series on the trip, preparing his airplane and his gear for such a long journey:

I watched all the videos up until he left Barrow a couple weeks ago. Haven’t found anything new on YouTube.

Really cool! I wonder how he’s getting some of those camera angles?

360 camera, the GoPro Fusion I think. Through extremely wide angle, high resolution, and software stitching of the overlap region, it has the ability to appear as if it's disembodied from its mount.

Yeah I saw that one Zane but was expecting something about his trip south. Was the paragliding just a diversion or stop along the way?

I think the latter. Seems like he should be headed for Canada soon, though to be honest, if I was him I'd stay in AK until Sept. Hot and burning down here :(
