Absolutely amazing.

Now that is flying.

I had the same assumption but when I googled him it turns out he died from a brain tumor. I didn't find any more details.

Would be interested if anyone has any more info on him.

Edit: NM, thanks to MP3 we've lost the link.

Is a beautiful song and some wonderful aerobatics by an Aussie hang glider. Thought I'd share it with those who missed the original link.
