Video: Fly-Boy's Adventure

November 2, 2020

The British Colin Legett tells in a video worth seeing how he made it from a basic paragliding course to a hike-and-fly adventure in Tajikistan in one year.

But it shows what is possible if you approach the matter with great enthusiasm. When, after a few years in the military and later as a worker on a drilling island, Colin was looking for a new thrill for leisure time, he went on a tandem flight. Since then he has been infected by the paraglider flight virus. In the meantime he organized a large part of his life around paragliding. With a lot of energy and certainly a lot of talent, he managed not only to take a hike-and-fly trip through the New Zealand Alps in his first year of flying, but later also through wild Tajikistan. In his film Fly-Boy Paragliding Adventures he tells his impressive story. And you have to admit that: Even from the style of his narrative aviator filmmaking, some significantly more experienced pilots can learn a thing or two from Colin. The video can be seen on Youtube.
