Sequoia Field Airport by Paramotor

Kudos to this guy for making his paramotor flight into a pretty fun little video. Storytelling is where it's at.

Re: Sequoia Field Airport by Paramotor

Wow, great video. Thanks for sharing. I started getting nervous when he was flying low to the ground and over the trees, but I guess that's how most people tend to feel about what we do!

Very peaceful way of flying.

Tragically, ATXCitab (Hank Sasser) perished in a crash in August 2014. He was a great guy and will be missed. -Z

How did he mount the upper rear camera, or maybe the question should be, "Who in the hell piloted the chase plane?".

Re: Sequoia Field Airport by Paramotor

I think the camera is hung on a cord and a weather vane holds it in desired direction?

Re: Sequoia Field Airport by Paramotor

Nice video : ) I have been in skydiving for 10 years but just bought my first paramotor. After lessons I'm taking it with me to work in Alaska and am looking forward to some good flying.
