Now...flying a hang glider with your bird

[741HCR]

Seriously, if you want to get to more extreme places to fly your birds you need something like this. It's a bit short on space though.

lol id rather walk it,
looks fun though lol

[Finnish]

That look's proper. :lol: I bet you have some fun in that.

[Falconry Equipment International]

Or one of these! :rolleyes: :o :o :o

[Finnish]

Nice nice

:oops: don't know why this has been posted twice sorry folks :roll:

[741HCR]

But if the terrain is just too tough, you can always fly in with your bird. This guy is one of a kind.

Oh, and 'Finnish', that's not me in the 4x4. I am 43 and most of my hair has fallen out so I look like a baby again.

If that was a peregrine I would have put money on it being andy Hollidge :lol: :lol: :rolleyes: :twisted: :rolleyes: :yawinkle: :supz:

Good try. It is actually Angelo D’Arrigo. He is the chap that recently tried to hang glide over Everest, having been towed up their by a microlight. Sadly the tow cable broke just before he reached the summit. Anyway, full marks for effort. The bird is an eagle of some sort but I have not got a clue what it actually is. Any suggestions????

[Falconry Equipment International]

do you know andy Hollidge???

[Coedhirion]

dont know the bird or the guy, but try this sometimes...but a bit tame compared to the one trying to fly :lol: :lol:
My farm bike is safest when you get to my age :lol: :lol:

I had never heard of Andy Hollige until now. He appears to fly wing gliders in the World Championships where winning is all about speed over a set course. Is he a falconer too? It looks just so cool to hang glide with your bird.

Nice 4x4 Coedhirion and a good location for it too.

Yup Highly regarded game hawker( mostly with tiercels) and hood maker, of the eighties/ early nineties, as you say he the went on to hang gliding and certainly competed/s ad world champoinship level

I found this photo of Andy Hollidge at Chelan Worlds by Douglas Pohl - dpohl@datamarine.com He seems to be associated with trialing some cutting-edge hang glider tail fin thingy.

I can't find any links or websites about him with his falconry hat on. Do you know of any?

[Hawkmaster]

Someone should invite him over to the forum to enlighten us more.

[Jester]

think i remember seeing something about him on a discovery channel one time.

he holds some kinda distance record for hang gliding as well and on the day he did it he took his imprint tawny eagle along with him

cant remember much else about it
