A longish video capturing some of the fun at the MingFling Hang Gliding and Paragliding event at Mingus Mountain. Launched at 12:30 on Sept 4, rode the thermals up to all my friends and worked our way over the back. Chandler had to throw a reserve due to an unrecoverable wing, Andrew landed out with him and all ended well, no one hurt. I was at 12,500 with a wide open world in front of me. I knew I could make Chino, then the climbs just kept coming. North up Hwy 89 I kept finding the climbs and getting closer to I-40. Not long before my chase crew called on the radio in Ash Fork saying they see me and that they were having a beverage in a local watering hole. What an amazing day! 50 miles from Mingus to Ash Fork.
