again this is the headline. from britain the students tell you their last chance to block a hike in university tuition fees they're slamming the government for targeting education to context and says as a bails out say to european economies. we could be expounded in a song to the top of an online poll to become time magazine person of the year the speculation mounted that america is driving his extradition to sweden from london for eventual trial in the u.s. . and u.k. finally allows russian embassy officials to communicate with a young woman accused of a spanner in the western media it seems to be seeking new toilets to complete the

story like story. night states out up and away spread the away. of the most of the violence and extremism ways to fly. but. i've never been like this before. so how does it feel. we did it. these people don't have a runway with powerful engines hold it's needed is a steep hillside or a winch but with each takeoff there is always a risk they are fresh no pilots but they proudly call themselves preflight pilots.

kid in the foothills of the rules a thousand kilometers from moscow. these paragliders have three days at their disposal they have decided to make several flights in different parts of passion. to launch points over hilltops many paragliders consider the difficulty. so let's say schenkel head of the expedition chooses a gentle slope style from the pilots are in a hurry they need to reach another launch point later in the day i know this you would know this is my first flight today so i feel a little jittery. it's always this way it's first year cancer trembling before takeoff but still this car is calling us to sneer with so once you get it tasted is

stronger than. the thought of paragliding infuse e.-s. like nicholai like i'm a cold weekend pilots he only recently began taking to the skies. in this expedition he has won an important and dangerous to make his first unassisted flight from mountain top. for the time being he's getting accustomed to the sky in tandem with his instructor. were ready for takeoff we're going to get there my instructor is taking care of me. so you see what it's like up here it's all quiet pull off some aerobatics. good lord have mercy on me. when

a winch is used to launch paragliders the pilots in tandem depend. on. the winch motor further down the slope tragedy may strike if the snaps too quickly the pilots can relax only when the paraglider has gained enough height and the wing is filled with. what compels us to fly. the adrenalin you know it's not. like birds that's. all my it's really great thank you. when i was a child. release. when i was a child i used to fly in my dreams. over my hometown. and i really had a feeling that i was flying. sort of feeling i guess when flying

a powered lighter no doubt about it that's when you feel your hands are like wings . everything is beneath you and everything. only the wing is above you. and you have total power over us that is of course if you know exactly what you're doing. the first flights being troublefree before any takeoff the pilots once again go through a detailed run through of in-flight techniques on the ground you should be scared up here just carefully assess the situation especially if the weather is six tree and that's. in that case you need to act with clockwork conversation if you panic nothing good will count from your actions you need to be worried only before launch and after landing. so the rush is south. before and by the sea. and beginners

this is the place where many. parrots effect skills. will take up now and will turn left to the plateau. after that will try to line up. the members of russia's national team of hang glider pilots they head out by early in the morning when the weather around you is completely calm. this is the best time for what is known as speed it's a risky but spectacular competition when you're not very close to nature. you're in the air not in the cabin like a pilot that youth will look at where you feel the wind you're controlling the balance you're catching the. your body with your head forward

with earth and if you're flying like a bird will. hang glider was a swept back wing supported on a rigid frame the pilot controls it by shifting his body. wait in various directions a hang glider can reach a speed of more than one hundred twenty kilometers per hour. speed glider pilots into fly as close to the ground as possible to gain speed. it may look serene from the ground but there's a serious competition going on between pilots they are trying to keep the maximum speed through the. one hundred and one thousand kilometers per hour is a decent speed. physical means that the risks are great. just. to be gliding is difficult. the pilot needs

training. not all of them get the nod right away. training is an absolute must for a regular route let alone speed gliding. this route around. the next destination for the expedition is mt. it's food to pay homage to a pilot who was killed in an accident is several years ago. is blunt and to the point the mountain gives us wings takes away friends in exchange. the free flowing pilots regard as. a convenient and easily accessible point is found at its top but the pilots have to be on the watch during flights so as to stick. to the wind is coming from the valley you mustn't go beyond

the rocks into the clouds or even. in the wind. grove down there so we'd have difficulty touching down a flight path is narrow only about one hundred meters. it's the story right. here in the spring this is a series problematic mountain a very dangerous place in mind you have to be very careful here if. to assessing the weather alexei lepper shank of. take off from the mountain because he is only a beginner. he does allow the fail to go ahead he's experienced and has taken over from the mountains single handed several times before. rafa follow me in my weight right behind my back oh come on come on be

careful great. get into rising near. the forward. beautiful well done rafa. just get it flying quite confident on good control of the glider. he had no problem touching. i'm going to join. us this is lee had a pretty hard time up here in the saloon us. poor weather conditions. is that the minus if anybody got fond of the view and when. we fulfilled the

exercise despite all that. in paris only one in the finals and flights may result in an accident but they are extreme parlance and they often risk their lives. russia's middle and the small time of. political party by the name of alexei machette it was one of the first russian pilots to attempt a dangerous trick of flying a powered power under a bridge when people picked up the measuring tape checked out five different branches none of them suited our name. friends inspected many bridges before they settled on this one that is situated between the towns of tokyo and some.

high above water. the river flowing underneath gives us more guaranteed safe flight under the bridge with the rest is a matter of technique. i like say flies something called the para motor which is a traditional powerglide a wing powered by a small. with a propeller attached. very simple piece of equipment it has a two stroke engine. and a fuel tank and is completely safe to use the weather is the main risk. should be to. the volga river is beautiful but difficult flights it is always windy. alexei needs to pinpoint the exact moment when the wind dies down and then fly under the bridge as quickly as possible the motive behind the pilot's bike weighs fifty kilograms if the wing brushes the bridge he will be sent crashing into

the water. but when you start later. use a special system to rescue pilots after splashdown what it's called and i'm going find it here on the power outlet or. this system works automatically when a pilot crashes into the water. instantly in the it's a big balloon along within three seconds with a way to lift them up to safety. as he circles over the bridge aleksei chooses the right moment for the aerobatics the wind has now dropped precision is crucial the gap between the bridge and the water is quite narrow and the gust of wind will push the pilot off course. and the glider

traveling at sixty kilometers per hour is in for a rough ride if he hits the road the. same a shot across stream came true but not before putting his life at risk this is undoubtedly any extreme sport.

early morning in the most scary region an unusual vehicle is driving along the highway it's a three wheeled carriage with a propeller. this aircraft is known as an ultralight trike they are used in russia for forest fire reconnaissance. companies scott self a pilot with the emergency ministry special unit has been flying his trike for thirteen years flying isn't a full b. or a spoof phone but it's his job and the mindset is to do a fly by sector spot find sources with a theatre with you. as well as old ones generally i gather information about. the forest down.

and the wheels of an airplane wing in steering mechanism of a hang glider it is reliable convenient and collapsible but easy. to put together alone so a colleague will always help. people . nearly every year in the region. the fuzz of just under the ground so no one can see the flames just the smoke it's hard to locate the hot spots from the ground but they can easily be spotted from the. pilot always confirms his route one last time before setting out. and then to. the north. west. in the northern region.

contacts must away. with have to come to one thousand eight hundred square kilometers which is always the area of london the capital of great britain most of the territory is heavily forested. and dream news the locations of the places where far as i'm most likely to break out and where one can make an emergency landing. is an experienced pilot he always tries to pass over the forest quickly goes lower than three hundred metres above the treetops. is waiting for you to land try and tell him yourself. to find it telling yourself. john hey you. offroad i'll tell him. do it.

first fires create powerful columns they rise sharply and can easily overturn an ultralight trike despite the fact that the machine weighs around four hundred kilos . you did not see any major fire breaks during his two hour flight safely back to. call a bitch everything's fine around it but i got delayed by having a smoke a flight appeared to be forty minutes longer than intended i checked all the spots got pictures to trust time called five but the five and sent the trucks immediately . with. the expedition is in its third day to the weather is more favorable to date i expect it to be a great day for pilots sure will be joining our fellow pilots who'll be flying

around in great numbers. tacl will be simply breathtaking. the instructor alexei's said so first he's going to size up the situation in the sky and the strength of the wind. the wind is so strong. that the most important thing is to move forward. not happening right now so. i'll release the brakes. brief scramble the pilot studies the wing and soars into the sky. so you can see this is typical of summer time earlier this year a pilot covered one hundred kilometers in area. he took off from here first healing dynamic current waiting for the arrival of thermal and then it lifted him to an altitude of want or even more and then from that point

he embarked on the route. alexei radios another member of the expedition to tell him he is cleared to take off when. greets him and both pilots begins. a fire. all right now we start soaring. every now and then we go up or down with the wind field of beauty and comfort of the flight there is a little turbulence because of the smoke see that's what i'm talking about. let's go to the right it's safer there. meanwhile the third member of the expedition on the ground has been desperately trying to raise the wing stabilize it

and take off but all of his. attempts have been in vain the instructor decides to touch down and fly with nicholai in tandem. flying is it different why it's a life of a bird when flying you look at that you feel as though you are looking at things through the eyes of a bird as if you had wings sensing every tiny wee for fear the flying gives you incredible excel aeration you must fly by old means very good. looking many of those on the ground think that attended is just for girls. i found this is just not true like you would pop over if you fly would i like see you will see what a time there is all about yourself. he spent three days trying to take off single handed the bad weather and his inexperience and hoping he can rely only on the instructor. we did and there's some people can keep stadiums or landings if they fall to the ground at the last i'm not because the risk here there are just carried

away by the moment so they sit on the ground. and feeling great was their eyes are dilated but not from fear and spurious euphoria. one of the pilots is back on the ground after completing his flight he is helping alex a deal with the strong winds during takeoff. our speed is seven kilometers per hour against the wind most of the pilots flying here are weekend pilots professional pilots don't fly here unless they want to practice takeoff or flying in a dynamic current. the northern caucasus again is one of russia's best choice for professional paragliders the route from the takeoff point goes through the chip game goal which and the main caucasian race. this is where experienced pilots come to fly.

it's narrow. conditions. created by the wind very good for high glider pilots. but the real interesting flights can be found. close to the rocky ridge. only professionals can fly their. conditions. the most experienced pilots to takeoff. strict instructions before they are allowed to fly. planes. don't go into the. even if the weather is good you are simply not skilled enough.

taking from chik him always gain altitude within a short time even a tandem of pilots is swiftly lifted in a vertical position by a powerful current. them well above the clouds to an altitude of one thousand meters above view reveals a breathtaking. many people overcome their fears and fly over a mountain tops in order to see it. the mountainous landscape is a source of inspiration for instruct. him is regarded as a great skill. she is crazy. worthy of the name is expected. she can curious. at least once this is the

last launch point for members of the paraglider expedition the pilots go to told food this is be the most difficult to say in three days the weather is getting strong winds and drizzle. is ready for the flight but first of all if he decides to monitor takeoff it will be nicholas first unassisted flight from this mountain in extreme weather conditions. racing big larger easier number one objective you run toward develop and takeoff on the way i'll be instructing you by radio. i'm always jittery when i take. ten or twenty such takeoffs. to grant me a smooth flight. forgive me and have mercy on the sailor. for

you member everything i taught you to do you be careful with the brakes go through the procedure twice or three times don't worry. if you control control don't panic let's do it once again who is on board school surface go back to the launch point spread out the glider. grab the controls may concern run for your life. hold up your hands. keep running don't drop your hands. dancing no get away from the mountain. this is a difficult mountain beginners are not going to take off from it because it's dangerous. for nicolai he has gone through basic training and he can. well for to

take off from this mountain. the paraglider expedition in has been a success three pilots have been able to take off from the. wreckage. the landscape is real. taste a breath away from the excitement of free flying. and i'm not an experienced pilot yet and i hope everything will be just fine. these mountain tops have been good but there is still more free flying in store.
