Inner city landing in Brazil

20-09-2010, 11:13 PM

The city is the Brazilian Capital, Brazilia. The city designed by Oscar Niemeyer. His two well connected sons are hang glider pilots in the Brazilian team and hang gliding is a big sport in Brazil. The result is a hang gliding competition where the takoff is 3 hours drive from the capital, and the finish is on the presidential Esplanada in the middle of the city, approaching over the main bus station and the landing surrounded by 3 lane highways. We did this for the world championships with 120 pilots in 2003.

Fast forward to the last minute and a half.

You only get the impression of speed as he's coming into land.

What's the beeping? Some kind of lift or stall indicator?

Good video
