Long-Distance Microlight Expedition
I'm often asked, both on YouTube and offline: How far can you fly in a hang glider? Here's the answer. In 2011, two friends flew 8,000 km in a month on two hang gliders, from Moscow to Kamchatka. They camped, landed on the highway, and refueled at gas stations. Sometimes they flew 200 km over the taiga with no chance of landing. And they flew 40 km over Lake Baikal wearing life jackets.
Basically, they were completely blown away! Well done!
