This man is a legend. I flew from early seventies till around 1990 and he was already amazing to me back then. Best photos, best videos, best pilot.

@fly1327 9 месяцев назад

No shit. I flew in the 90's and John was well known by everyone then, but by all accounts I heard, beyond humble.

@mobiltec Год назад

Great video John. I miss the sport.

@foesfly3047 Год назад

John has probably logged more loops than most of us have logged flights ♠️

@m16soundsystem Год назад

John Heney still in the game respect

@dkjens0705 Год назад

A pure legend. So many memories from the 80s and 90s when I flew Crestline almost every weekend. Those bottom surface panels have to be John Heiney's signature.

Hi John, it’s Sharon and Jerry here in Arkansas, watching your video reminiscing about how fun it was and how quickly it passed. Our doors always open here in Mountainhome Arkansas. If you’re this way, let us know. Sending our love. Hope you have a good 2023.

Heiney, as always, you never cease to amaze me. Cheers!

@SoarswithSwords Год назад

Legendary pilot and clips. I’m honored to know John and fly with him from time to time!

@stefanmargraf7878 11 месяцев назад

Me too. Telluride and Paradox. Very impressive and humble man.

I think the still pic of the Blue Sky wing 3 quarters through the loop is one of the images that inspired me the most to start flying. Epic old school video, amazing to see how the wing has evolved to what it is today. Honestly I don't think it can progress very much more considering how advanced the sport is today.

Amazing

Great post! So many of these images shown here have graced my walls and scrap books for forty plus years. John Heiney... a real professional; photographer, Aerobatics, designer, mentor---

@millyboarder Год назад

Awesome edit John! Love seeing you do loops!!

@anthonyburtis2951 Год назад

Hey John around 2008 I talked to you after areobatric Telluride compition, you told me the velcro on your harness came loose during a lupe, you said it surprised you a bit, also talked to you at point of the mountain, you looked at some rigging on my glider, nice guy!

Epic hang gliding history

@99bx99 9 месяцев назад

John doing a loop at Torry Pines in a UP Comet, the same glider I flew back then. I'm 79 and still fly every couple of years, make sure I can still do it. The last time I flew was at Cape Kiwanda on the Oregon coast. I gave a kid five bucks to carry my UP Condor to the top of the dune for me. Took off and soared for an hour.

@TheFjordflier 5 лет назад

GREAT. A nice mix of scenes. Good job :-)

@nomoreidea 6 месяцев назад

I didn't know it was possible to do a loop with a masted glider. I thought it wasn't strong enough and lacked speed. Nice vid

@fly1327 7 месяцев назад

3:10 I'm sorry but doing that loop where the 74 (Ortega Hwy) meets Grand Ave (Lake Elsinore) brings back...working to hold back tears...but, well you know.

@Ayerstairs Год назад

Sweet!

@NevilleStyke 5 лет назад

Some of those shots reminded me of the 'E'. We saw Mitch there, when we flew. With John, you can see what he's doing but with Mitch you wonder how the heck did he just do that.

I remember you coming to Morningside. My instructor Jeff and Bob were incredible. I was very lucky to fly with them. Jeff Nicoli was my SuperHero! I often tell stories that he told me. Life was such an adventure then!!!!

I could never fly one of those things. My reaction in an emergency would be the reverse of what is required as I'm fixed wing trained.

@JohnHeiney001 11 месяцев назад

I learned to fly hang gliders and airplanes at about the same time. Airplanes a little before, but never a problem with confusing the controls. Controlling a hang glider by moving your body becomes intuitive. You don't think about the control bar as a yoke.
