the grand imperial troy. said don't need to go. read this and the colonel was hotel retreat. for the week's top stories as well and first of good intentions nationalist hatred as. it was killed resulted in. our first parliamentary election nearly three years since splitting from serbia exit polls put the coalition parties ahead tonight. double standards and dirty money american finance giants were accused of cutting

off wiki leaks donations while continuing to accept. at the. time living life on the way. to meet those who get their thrills. 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 with which with each takeoff there is always a risk that festival 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 are hilltops many paragliders consider the difficulty. so let's say shane called head of the expedition choose a gentle slope to start from the pilots are in a hurry they need to reach another launch point later in the day but i know this you would know this is my first flight today so i feel a little jittery but it's always this way it's first year cancer trembling before takeoff but still this car is calling us to smear with so once you get it tasted is

stronger than. paragliding infused nicholai like him a cooled 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 getting accustomed to the sky in tandem with his instructor. were ready for takeoff we're going to get there and 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. 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 no it's not. that we fly like birds that's is. 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. everything is beneath you and everything. it's 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 the terrain is dentures in that case you need to act with clockwork for sedition 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. and larger parrots effect skills. will take up now and will turn left to the plateau. after that will try to line up. the only major members of russia's national team of hang glider pilots they head out by early in the morning when the weather around is completely calm. this is the best time for what is known as speed it's a risky but spectacular competition and you're not very close to nature. if you're in the air not in the cabin like a pilot which is this will look at where you feel when you're controlling the balance well you're catching the edge. with your body with your head forward

with earth and if you're flying like a bird it will look like a. hang glider was a swept back wings supported on a rigid frame the pilot controls it by shifting his body weight in. various directions 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. for the good 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 around. the next destination for the expedition. 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 but takes away friends in exchange. the free flowing pilots regard as one of the treacherous. 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 even. condescends grove down there so we'd have difficulty touching down a flight path is narrow only about one hundred meters. it's just right. here in the spring this is a series of problematic mountain if there are dangers place in mind you have to be very careful here that if. the weather. take off from the mountain because he is only a beginning. he does allow the failed to go ahead he's experienced and has taken over from the mountain singlehanded several times before. the full 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 and. just get it flying one consonant on good control of the glider. and no problem touching down. i'm going to join. but look this is lisa already current time up here this lunacy. weather conditions. anybody.

but we fulfilled the exercise despite all that. in paris only one of the thousand 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 the. 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 glider under a bridge when people thought we picked up a measuring tape and checked out five different branches none of them suited our navy. friends inspected many bridges before they settled on this one that is situated

between the towns of tokyo and some. suited us marvelously. and it's high above water. 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 a power 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 within a quarter cooling. and a fuel tank and is completely safety. use the weather is the main risk factor. should be totally calm the volga river is one of the most beautiful but difficult sleights for such 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 it's called. can find it here on the power outlet or. not go through. this system works automatically when a pilot crashes into the water. instantly inflates a big balloon within three seconds with a way to lift him 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 a gust of wind will push the pot of course. and to go traveling at sixty kilometers

per hour 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. well. bringing you the latest in science and technology from around russia. we've dumped a huge area covered. 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 so for 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 on t.v. it's his job will be my time is to do a fly by sector spot find sources with a theater with your. generally i gather information about. the forest down.

of an airplane and steering mechanism of it is reliable convenient. to put together alone so a colleague will always help. people . nearly every year in the region. the fuzz adjust 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 his route one last time before setting out. and then to. to the north. 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 for as and 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. will find it telling yourself . offroad i'll tell him. do it.

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

numbers for the spectacle 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. the most important thing is to move forward but that's not happening right now so. i'll release the brakes. in a. brief scramble the pilot studies the wing and soars into the sky. do you think this is typical of summer time earlier this year a pilot covered one hundred kilometers in busch kuria. he took off from here first healing girty 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. greets him and both pilots begin soaring. 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. well 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 touchdown and fly with nicholai in tandem. flying is that different why it's a lie from a bird when flying you feel as though you are looking at things through the eyes of a bird as if you had wings sensing every tiny wee fall fear of the flying gives you incredible acceleration you must fly by old means. welcome back so many of those on the ground think that attended is just for girls. i found this is just not true like about buffalo if you fly without legs see you will see what a time there is all about is that. his spent three days trying to take off single handed the bad weather and his inexperience helping he can rely only on the instructor. we did and there's some people can keep steady at your landings if they fall to the ground yet those things not because they're scared they're just carried

away by the moment so they sit on the ground a long thing 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 nickel 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 cool.

this is where experienced pilots come to fly. conditions. created by the. high glider pilots. but the real interesting flights can be found. only professionals can fly their. conditions. the most experienced pilots to take. strict instructions before. even if the weather is good you are simply not skilled enough.

taking from. within a short time even a tandem of pilots is swiftly lifted in the vertical position by a powerful current. one thousand meters. view 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 . every pilot would be of the name is expected to take over from

a man she can in bash kuria at least once this is the last launch point for members of the paraglider expedition the pilots go to it on food this is been the most difficult to send in three days the weather is getting worse strong winds and drizzle leg say is ready for the flight but first of all if he decides to monitor a nicolaas takeoff it will be nicholas first unassisted flight from this mountain in extreme weather conditions that there is not that racing big larger easier number one objective you are on tour develop and takeoff on the way i'll be instructed you by radio. i'm always jittery when i take or. who only not terror twenty such takeoffs. try my best. i wish to ask god to grant me a smooth flight so prejudiced by the lord forgive me and have mercy on the sailor.

for you member everything i taught you to do be careful with the brakes go through the procedure twice or three times i already don't worry. if you control control don't panic let's do it once again who is on board school surfers go back to the launch point spread out to glide out the fuel. grab the controls make a turn run for your life quicker hold up your hands keep running. keep running don't drop your hands. dancing no get away from the mountain. this is a difficult mountain beginners are not. to takeoff 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 bash has been a success three pilots have been able to take off from that choose launch point. but it. landscape is only a real. taste a breath away from the excitement of free flowing. and i'm not an experienced pilot yet but i hope everything will be just fine that. these mountain tops have been conquered but there is still more free flowing in store.
