Flying Over Kauai
Mike's Ultralite (powered hang glider) lesson.
I’m in the back seat, with the real pilot/instructor in the front,
though I got to fly it about one third of the time we were in the air!
We left from a private airport on the south shore, and flew over about
one-fourth of the island, including up to the main crater, around 5000 feet.
The flight lasted an hour, and was a fantastic experience.

Photos were taken by a camera mounted on one wing.
