Cathy, wonderful "footage." Loved the sneaks. They actually add a perspective. If you think yours are filthy, you should see mine when I come in from the bush. Stay well. Blue skies ahead.
That was beautiful. I have been looking for an ultralight instructor around the DFW area and have not found one yet. I"m surprised that you did not kick out some hogs during that run.
Can't believe I just did this! My first flight ever on an Ultralight Plane over the Texas Hill Country. Amazing experience! Excuse the distracting filthy tennis shoes...LOL...Video shot with the Iphone 5s and Nikon D750 #Texas #HillCountry #Flight #Flying #Ultralight #Plane #Bluebonnets #NikonD750 #Video #Iphone5s
Cathy Alba Glad that you had a good time, and that the weather was nice enough to take a ride. I am glad that I was a follower of Texas Bluebonnet sightings and that y'all posted about the plane. When I saw it I knew that it had to be my husband's uncle flying. Glad you experience that once in a life time experience.
Thank you! Yes, those were blue bonnets. Those huge fields that bloomed a few years ago are under water now since the water levels have risen to normal levels.
The footage is beautiful, BUT way to low for me. Flying that close to the ground you don't give yourself any way out if the engine stopped or another problem. The terrain didn't look to good for a smooth landing in most places and at that altitude of 5-10 feet you have no choices and even a ballistic chute probably wouldn't help at such low altitudes. My flight instructor told me 40 years ago " There are old pilots and bold pilots - But not too many old bold pilots " Your the man and you know the risk, happy flying and be safe.
A once in a lifetime ride for me. I'm actually afraid of heights but the sight of the bluebonnets from above was amazing and couldn't pass up the opportunity.
Didnt even know there were any decent places to fly a UL in Texas..at least not where I stay.....Landing and taking off strips are few and far between......
Hi Andre, Thank you! It was a wonderful experience but I don't fly an ultralight myself. I was a passenger and we specifically flew lower over the Bluebonnet fields that bloom here in Texas in the spring. This was one of the largest bluebonnet fields in the state at the time. I honestly don't know anything about planes.
Oh..okay, yes,but its really wonderful experience, even me enjoyed it. It’s good for you. I wonder if I can fly like that for 200km. here, he.he..Ok, my regards from Indonesia for you all.
use to live there and loved it till it started to grow and the water tables started to disappear,,,, tooooo many people moving in on Spicewood,,, ole USN vet
Jimmy Haley It’s a beautiful area! When I flew over Muleshoe the water was very low but now it’s higher and most of those areas that were blooming with flowers are under water.
I’m moving to Austin next month and want to buy a ultralight trike or quicksilver to fly around west Austin do you need private pilot license to fly quicksilver?
I never changed the video speed while editing. This is what I captured while flying and videotaping with my NikonD750. The beginning is filmed with an iphone.
