framoo Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) Dear all, Last June four Dutch paramotorpilots (including myself) visited the Normandy area for the celebrations/commemorations of 70 years D-Day. Unfortunately we were not allowed to fly during the first four days (3-6 June). Fortunately the weather was great from 7-10 June when the sky was opened again. I made a 22 min video that starts with a short trailer, followed by about 10 minutes "ground" movie, including a short interview with one of the veterans at Omaha beach. The last 10-12 min is filled with aerial footage while we were overflying the landing beaches, Pointe du Hoc, etc. It is a tribute to all the heroes. Lest we forget.

alan_k Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 A wonderfully moving and evocative film Frank. Hats off to you for putting in the effort for this. I think I can speak for everyone on this forum to applaud the heroes from D day and beyond to give us freedom, including the freedom we now enjoy in the skies on PPG. A very big well done.

bubba1 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Very moving! Not your average ppg film.Makes you think about all those very young men who gave their lives for our freedom. Looks like a nice place to fly. Might have to take a trip there and fly that coastline myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
