Soaring With a Hawk

Very cool video of paraglider flying with a trained hawk.

We originally found this here.

We talk about this video in UCAP259.

    I know how it irks you when the press flounders with aviation!! Well so do members of the USHPA. I logged 1800 hrs on a paraglider before moving to powered flight and would highly recommend anyone to take a tandem introductory flight! On of the purest forms of free flight. Parasailing is for drunk tourists on a beach. People fly with hawks to search out thermals, or “hanging with the locals.” Keep up the great work. Jon
