two thirty am in moscow good to have you with us here on our t.v.'s are your headlines after the u.k. parliament votes in two wishing fee hikes for england students protesting their rage at having to pay for the mistakes of those holding the purse strings. even with unemployment and homelessness in the u.s. at a fifty year high banks may pay out bonuses early to help the wall street aledo avoid higher taxes. and moscow wants an explanation of nato's plan to defend the baltic states and poland against russia which was revealed by wiki leaks. up next spread your wings as r.t. looks at the most advanced and extreme ways to fly stay with us. suit

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 for the each takeoff there is always a risk that festival pilots but they proudly call themselves preflight pilots. 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 to different parts of passion. to launch point zero hilltops many paragliders consider the difficult. so what makes a mission called head of the expedition chooses a gentle slope to start from the pilots are in a hurry they need to reach another launch point later in the day but you 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 of cancer travelling before takeoff but still this car is calling us to smear with so once you get it tasted is stronger than. 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 alex. we're 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 quite pull off some aerobatics. oh good lord have mercy on me. when a winch is used to launch paragliders the pilots in tandem depend polity. the winch motor further down the slope tragedy may strike at 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 that. this is the adrenalin you know it's not. that we fly 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 own time. 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. 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 flight suit 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 dentures in that case you need to act with clockwork for sedition if you panic nothing good will come from your actions you need to be worried only before launch and after landing. so the rush is sound. for and by the sea. and beginners this is the place where many. and larger part of its effect skills. will

take up now and will turn left to the plateau. after that will try to line up. these young men or 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 then you're not very close to nature. if you're in the air not in the cabin like a pilot the truth will look at where you feel when you're controlling the balance well you're catching the. your body with your head forward with earth and if you're flying like a bird with a. hang glider is a swept back wings supported on

a rigid frame the pilot controls it by shifting his body. 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. 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 but it means that the risks are great. just. as 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. the next destination for the expedition is. its food to pay homage to a pilot who was killed in an accident is several years ago. and to the point the mountain gives us when the takes away friends in exchange. the free flowing pilots regard as one of the. convenient and easily accessible point is found at its top but the pilots have to be on the watch during flights. the wind is coming from the valley you mustn't go be on the rocks into the clouds even. in the winter. grove down there so we'd have difficulty

touching down a flight path is narrow only about one hundred meters. the story right. here in this brain this is a very problematic mountain if there are dangers to place in mind you have to be very careful here that if. the weather alexei let the shank of. to take off from the mountain because he is only a beginning. he does allow the failed north to go ahead he's experienced and has taken all from the mountains single handed several times before. follow me in my way 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 confident on good control of the glider. he had no problem touching. i'm going to join. us this is lee had it pretty hard to sign up here at the saloon us. who are a weather conditions. at the mine to see if anybody could find the view. but we fulfilled the exercise despite all that.

in paragliding only one in the thousand flights may result in an accident but there are extreme parlance and they often risk their lives. russia's middle and the small time of the. political party by the name of alexei machette it was one of the first russian pilots to attempt a painter's trick of flying a powered power under a bridge when people picked up the measuring tape and checked out five different branches none of them suited. friends inspected many bridges before they settled on this one is situated between the towers of tokyo and some. high above. the river flowing underneath gives us more guaranteed

a safe flight under the bridge with the rest is a matter of technique. i like say flies something called the paramatta 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 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 later. to use a special system to rescue pilots after splashdown what it's called i got in the

way and i'm going find it here on the powered letter. or this system works automatically when a pilot crashes into the water which it is the sick one that was there but by then it was the get in instantly and leaves a big balloon well on within three seconds with a way to lift them up to safety by the officer. 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 they're going to travelling at sixty kilometers per hour it is in for a rough ride if he hits the water.

like same a shot across stream came true but not before putting his life at risk this is undoubtedly an extreme sport. culture is the same moment taxpayers' money i mean when i say yeah i'm a real mystery man it. is and i understand what is the future for me or i'm just testing me or insane or is it time to seriously consider. is eat. meat.

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 hobby or a spoof on t.v. it's his job to my time is to do a fly by sector spot fire sources within. my map new sources as well as old ones generally i gather information about fires about pasta

the forests being burnt down. and ultralight has the wheels and propeller of an airplane and the wing in steering mechanism of a hang glider it is reliable convenient and a bubble collapsible but it is hard for one person to put together alone so a colleague will always help on the be prepared. all right. left it up. people because nearly every year in the region near moscow. the fuzz adjust 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. from. and then to snowball. well. to the

north we are firing from west to east but in the northern region. contacts blast away. unbelieving will 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. in dream news the locations of the places where fuzzy most likely to break out and where one can make an emergency landing but only three is an experienced pilot he always tries to pass over the forest quickly and never goes lower than three hundred meters above the treetops. our chief is waiting for you to land trying tell him yourself. will find it telling yourself. john hey you.

buffalo bill and 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 only did not see any major fire breaks during his two hour flight return safely back to. call a bitch everything's fine let alone dish but i got delayed by having a smoke a flight appeared to be forty minutes longer than intended i checked all spots got pictures of the trust i'm caught fire but the firemen sent the trucks immediately. with a steep slope. is a short distance away a strong wind continually blows from. the expedition is in its third date in your book the weather is more favorable to date i expect it to be a great day for pilots being sure who will be joining our fellow pilots who'll be

flying around in great numbers this spectacle will be simply breath taking. 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 but that's not happening right now so. i'll release the brakes. and go a bit. brief scramble the pilot studies the wing and soars into the sky. do you think this is typical of summer time earlier this year if pilot covered one hundred kilometers in area. he took off from here first healing dirty in a 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 to. greet him and both pilots begins. the fire. all right now we start soaring. every now and then we go up or down with the wind we fielded 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 instruct to decide. to touchdown and fly with nikolai in tandem. flying is little different law if it's a life of a bird when flying you look at that you feel are still 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 me in spades. looking bad so many of those on the ground think that attended is just for girls. i found this is just not true. if you fly without legs see you will see what a time there is all about is that. he spent three days trying to take off single handed the bad weather and his inexperience. he can rely only on the instructor. we do that and there's some people can keep steady at your landings they fall to

the ground yet those times not because they're a skier thought they were just carried away by the moment so they sit on the ground . and feeling great was their eyes are dilated but not from fear it's pure 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 seventy 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 is one of russia's best choice for professional paragliders the route from the takeoff point goes through the cegep in the goal which and the main qualification ridge. this is where experienced pilots come to fly

it's narrow gorges regularly cause stronger. conditions. created by the wind. and hang glider pilots. real interesting flights can be found. only professionals can fly their. conditions for. the most experienced pilots to take. strict instructions before to fly. don't go into the. even if the weather is good you are simply not skilled enough.

taking from. within a short time even the tandem of pilots is swiftly lifted in the vertical position by a powerful current. altitude one thousand meters above reveals a breathtaking. many people overcome their fears and fly over mountain tops in order to see that. the mountainous landscape is a source of inspiration for instruct. him is regarded as a great skill. grazie .

name is expected. she can. least once this is the. the 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 that there is not that racing that 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. to give me and have mercy on the center. 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 make a turn 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 afford to take off from this mountain. the paraglider expedition in has been a success three pilots have been able to takeoff from that. wreckage. landscape is a real. taste of 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 free flowing in store.
