Way Up High - A Cross-Country Hang Gliding Story

Abigail Osborn wrote, sang, played and recorded the excellent song called "When I'm Flying". Check out her music here: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5gv5f... Itunes:   / abigail-osborn  

This is the story of Chris Bolfing's and my cross-country hang gliding flight from the E launch at Lake Elsinore CA to San Clemente out at the coast. The straight-line distance is about twenty miles. We could have been more organized, but it all worked out fine, and we had great fun. Chris was on his "Peace-Sign" Freedom X 16 and I on the "Trapezoid" Predator 142.

The list at the end of the film is in honor of people who love flying Elsinore. If you are an Elsinore Pilot and I missed you, leave your name in a comment and I'll add it to this list in the description; and tell us an Elsinore story. Also, let me know if I need to correct spelling or name. Corrections will happen on the list here in the description only.

Not sure why they are putting ads on this video. I have not monetized my channel. I guess I should if they are going to use me for advertising anyway.
