Dragonfly Aircraft in Himalayas
Avia Club Nepal - 2015/12/12

"Dragonfly" - an ultralight aircraft in Himalayas, towing Avia Club Nepal hang gliders...
Special "Thank You" to Bob Bailey - the designer of this wonderful aircraft for visiting Avia Club Nepal in Pokhara and sharing his experience with us.

We had this video by 2016/12/05 - still up a dozen days after Alexandr Maximov totaled the tug and himself 2016/11/23 10:00 local. Sometime within the next couple weeks Avia Club Nepal pulled it and deprived the planet of a critically important chunk of hang gliding history - not to mention a pretty damn cool work of art.

I've pulled representative stills from every segment that can be considered a sequence and have gotten faces as much as possible. Best looks at the Dragonfly and its capabilities we're ever gonna get. Huge effort but not as overwhelming as I'd anticipated.

Stars Bobby Fucking-Genius Bailey, Alexandr - who's only gonna live a bit over eleven months after the posting - in lead supporting role.

This was a huge freakin' deal for this operation and the local community and the video shows everybody oozing with excitement and enthusiasm while dumping tons of effort into the project. And there was no shortage of enthusiasm and effort going just into the production of the video either. So one doesn't need much in the way of imagination to get a feel for the devastation entailed when everything abruptly turned to garbage because:

My Republica - Seti flashflood alert pilot dies in Ultralight crash
Santosh Pokharel - 2016/11/23 20:20

"Preliminary investigation shows that the ultra-light aircraft lost its balance and crashed after a rope tied to a hang-glider snapped while being pulled by the aircraft," informed Inspector Mohanmani Adhikari of Baidam Police Post...
And to this day neither Bobby nor any other Dragonfly driving total douchebag has ever taken the slightest public issue with that assessment.

Initial ten posts worth of discussion appearing in "Weak links" topic:
http://www.kitestrings.org/post9809.html#p9809
now consolidated with / appearing as first page of this one.

Gonna leave this "topic" locked for at least a while 'cause I'm intending it as an archive and will probably do a bit of editing in the near future.
2018/08/22 13:10:00 UTC - Unlocked.

380 frames in this one. I've inserted sets of five hyphens (-----) in between sequences to make it easier to navigate through to find areas of interest. (Search forward and backward.) And searching on a single hyphen - as in the catalog number "001-000000" takes you through frame by frame.

And it looks like we're ferrying to their upstream base of operations.
28°14'31.51" N 083°52'58.62" E
'Bout three miles up the valley from the near edges of Phewa Lake or six and a half from the airport (crowflight).

-- Flytec Race & Rally 2010

It autoloaded after the Quest video (which, gotta admit, is pretty cool too).

It's a commercial advertisement video, uses a lot of the same flying footage, includes a few clips that were left out of the other. Probably merits a few more stills.

I mostly wanted the two other/onboard cameras of Bobby running the slalom. Also took some shots of unduplicated sequences and added a couple from existing stuff. (04-01815=80501 and 43-35427=85806.)
