High Desert Fun Video

Trent, awesome work on the videos. My 14yo cannot get enough of them...you make flying cool!

I shared your video with the guys build our Model 4 and here was the response from one of them:

"Those are great KitFox videos. I had not seen them before. I lived just North of Reno, Nevada where these were filmed. I flew in a glider off one of those salt flats when I was about 21 years old with a Crusty and Dusty old Cowboy who liked to fly gliders and drink beer. He lived on an old ranch out in the desert beside one of those salt flats in the video.
In those hills that the Kitfox is landing on, I used to dig fossils, and look for opals and gold all over that area."

There is just something pretty cool about a story like that.

Wow! That's awesome, there is definitely a pretty rich history of aviation in this area that I was completely unaware of but am slowly learning about through stories and encounters with farmers and ranchers that we bump into while out playing. Thanks for sharing!
