This reminds me of some footage I saw of Louis and Mary Leaky flying around Africa in their day.
A Biologist in west Michigan has one and swears by the thing. Some stunning footage of Africa. Also, wanted to send a thank you to Ed Bein, who brought the Browser Torch to my attention. I was not interested in it at first, but compared to RealPlayer, which would not let me download the url below to my hard-drive. Torch made it simple. You have to also download Adobe Flashplayer v 11.0, but after that saving it was simple. Torch is a very interesting tool, Ed is correct about that. Simple to use, as well. Thank you and of course, have cross-posted this. Mike Nolan....see below Flying in a motorized paraglider over one of the most diverse continents in the world, George Steinmetz captures the stunning beauty of Africa's landscapes and people. His pictures show not only the spectacular patterns of the land, but also the potential and hope that the continent encompasses. http://mediastorm.com/publication/african-air ---------- If we are on another line or away from the phone, please leave your number, best time to return your call and your e-mail address.
