How I'm honing my skills for SoW
 
For months, enemy intruders have been violating our airspace, probing our borders to test our defenses. Our interceptors are routinely scrambled in response to these intrusions but to avoid escalation of the conflict, they are under strict orders not to fire unless fired upon.

Hamstrung by this policy of non aggression, our interceptors play a deadly game of cat and mouse with the intruders, chasing them out of our borders.

This is a story of one such incident.

This film was shot under controlled circumstances. No snowmobilers were harassed or harmed during the making of this movie.

Nice flying! My dad have UL too, and flying on really low level is great fun.

Yeah, it's hard to get a sense of speed at high alt. My first year flying in the winter and with all the frozen lakes and rivers around that I can fly low over, I'm enjoying it more than summer flying!

You can buy used ultralights for around 20k (USD) or less.

I built this plane from a kit. Actually calling it building is a bit of an exaggeration. It's more like assembling.

I don't think you should post something that requires becoming a 'friend' to watch, though perhaps this is a YouTube glitch.

Ultralights look like fun though.
