    I took mate of mine for a flight around Humptydoo one dry season afternoon and he was kind enough to shoot some video of the flight. I think he did a great job filming

    Thank you guys I appreciate the warm welcome it’s nice to find some likeminded people that are interested in the same sort of things we are a bit isolated up here in the NT Jabiru7252 I can assure you I am up and down quiet regularly as my fuel usually only last about an hour but it brings back a painful memory of when I was spotting for a bunch of shooters on a cold Dry season day miles from anywhere I could safely land and I had been flying for about 2 hours (using a additional fuel tank strapped into the passenger’s seat) when nature called in a big way, it was one of the most painful flights I have ever made LOL

    Thanks Guys, I suppose i do put alot of trust in my Engine but as the chute doesn’t go that fast I’m not too worried about an engine out i always carry an epirb and a satellite phone just in case but you are wright Cosmic if I land in some of the swamps I fly over the crocks would have me shitting myself

    Took my aerochute on a trip to the Kimberley’s a couple of weeks ago Had an awesome time flying around the escarpment, afternoon flights were a bit windy and gusty so I had to keep my distance and altitude in check but the morning flights were a dream. Had a good hay paddock to take off from at the Vic River Roadhouse and some unbelievable salt flats in Wyndhum that stretched for miles and were so smooth and I was able to drive around on the ground doing figure 8’s and turning circles. El Questro was another story lol it had an air strip with a fairly constant crosswind so I had to pick my moment and a first time pax that was scared shitless of heights but once I was in the air the scenery was breathtaking and one I will never forget i have posted a movie on youtube if your interested the link is below if it dosent work try copy and past on your browser

    I've always wanted to fly my Aerochute in the Kimberley Region in Western Australia. It is one of the most pictures' places in Australia, with its rugged beauty and its myriad of colours. My wife, myself and a couple of other friends took a long weekend and travelled from Darwin to Wyndham and had a
