VH-KDK Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 There is very little snow in May at Essen GEN so I had to use some ingenuity to complete my slalom. 1. Approaching the A52 and the Ruhrtalbruecke, looks like some snow under the bridge. 2. Through gate one but nothing there so I will look further along to see if there is any hidden behind the bridge pillars. 3. Nothing under here at gate 2 4. Maybe some on the river bank. 5. wer war dieser maskierte Mann 6. Over the Ruhr and under the bridge again, getting a bit dizzy. 7. Ist es Frank Wörndl? 8. That is gate six and I am getting more dizzy. 9. I can still go round a couple more. 10. That is it, went around 10 pillars and only brushed the first one! Not too hard with the Paramotor but I don't think it would be as easy in the Spitfire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulb Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Excellent bit of flying Martyn! Yes, not sure that I would try it in a Spitfire (or even a helicopter given the way I fly ). Maybe a Fieseler Storch or a Pitts Special? Just had a look on the internet. The Mintarder bridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mintarder bridge Cheers Paul. I actually got quite dizzy doing this as I had to swing the Paramotor around quite drastically to get around each pillar. Thanks for finding this picture of the bridge and giving it it's proper name. looks like the info on GE was not correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Quite an amazing feat Martyn! I loved them all. It must be fun flying this para-motor. I wonder if I could get an inverted 747 under one. Nah, too narrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could find one I’d be right on it. Wish I knew how to repaint. All my planes would have one with a yellow paint job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My planes would all be blue of yellow and blue! Can you imagine how colourful the skies would be if we could paint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
