A Jodel, a drone and a Skyranger: fun in the French Alps.

OH Great video. Well put together.

Beautiful! The sort of flying I'd always wanted to do...but now I'm too much of a wimp to land on a steep hilltop.

 

That Jodel came in awfully fast, he needed the slope to wash off speed.

Awesome view and lovely production, a respectful and safe use of a drone.

 

EFATO would have been interesting on some of the takeoffs at the end.

 

So jealous of the scenery

The approach to that uphill runway was amazing. A quick flick over the treetops and then plunge for the runway! Yikes

I learned to fly in PNG so brings back some fond memories.

 

He probably needed to keep the speed up to get to the top of the hill.

 

Not the place to be if you are not on top of directional control (especially on the landing roll).

Yeah, I suppose they need to carry the added speed for the added flare.

 

Anyway, non-precision is a non-option.

 

But clearly a lot of planning has gone into the flying and the filming, too.

This is someone who gets heaps of recreation out of his flying.

One of my sons has a very high quality drone so I'm looking forward to him doing something similar.

 

He is still practicing his skills.
