This is flying at its purest. Today I spent almost 10 hours operating an Airbus A320 over Europe, which is nice, but coming home and seeing this video has been so inspiring and a reminder of how much more in touch with the experience it’s possible to be. No computers, no radar vectors or twisting knobs on a panel, just you, the stick and the kingdom you survey. Would love to try it!

I know the feeling. When I fly for my job it's fun but you can easily forget you are flying. When you fly an ultralite, you know EXACTLY what's going on.

After my father lost his pilots license due to heart conditions, he had an ultralight. I imagine this is how he felt when he flew. He rode motorcycles all his life and this was his thrill in life. An excellent example, thank you for sharing this.

Everything about this is so RIGHT on! But flying open cockpit w/out protective helmet seems so wrong given the great choices in PPG these days. There's no easy recovery from head-trauma in the unlikely event of a survivable crack up. I often wear a helmet and my aircraft is closed cockpit. Just say'in - thank you for reading and keep up the great flying Alina. Respect.

I was interested in ultra lite flying back when the planes were made of very thin stone. I had a wife and family. Me and a work friend went to an air field met a guy and asked him some questions. I asked him about flying an ultra lite and life insurance. He said if you crash have a friend drag you out to a road make sure you are dead then run over you with his car. It had to look like a different kind of accident. Alina you make jealous and it looks like you are a real pro. You will be just fine!

Indeed flying at its purest, no radials or inner/ outer markers no autopilot, in fact no distractions for what is the greatest feeling in the world. Cant beat an open cockpit and the wind in your hair. In todays aircraft we have lost that basic 'feel' of the aircraft and what it wants to do. Sensing when it will stall or drop a wing. Flight should be an experience you feel within your heart and soul, no fear just the desire to reach greater heights to live your dream. You will go far Alina with you wonderful Papa's teaching and care. Flying intoxicates our blood it cannot be equalled. Yes I agree I do adore her 'brakes' 😉
