And Now… All That You Have Been Waiting For…
What initially started with a chat on Messenger, emerged into an idea, had me ending up at the drawing table with a pencil a notebook and Spotify. The wait is over!

I wanna go flying with my friends!

But as you all know, I can’t.

The AERIALIS Team Flyers scheduled a meeting in late March, but we had to cancel it due to the Corona virus restrictions. You know, having people travelling in to Sweden from Germany, Denmark and Norway didn’t seem like a good idea. No workshop, no hanging out together and no team flying. ????

However, we can meet online, which is great, but we can’t fly kites together for a while.

So keeping my social distancing I got this idea. Yes, I am (still) allowed to go out flying as long as I keep my distance from other people, and I do know about a few flying spots without much traffic.

Hmmmm….. I wondered, is there a workaround? Yeah, it might…..

The idea grew into a plan and preparations were needed. So I sat down at the drawing table with a few blank sheets, a pencil, a phone and Spotify. I was ready to do some serious sketching. And after some time I’d drawn a few onto those sheets of paper and a tune sounding inside my head. A few steps closer to …..

Then it was time to convert the sketches into live action. Kite attached, wind on my back, music in my ears, ready to fly. A quick look through my sketches every now and then for some adjustments and fine tuning and I was about to pull it all together.

Next time on the field and now I’d brought a tripod and my video camera. I did quite a few shots and the flying went pretty well. I was pretty certain that at least some of the footage would be useful and so I headed back home.

then I started the editing. Hmmmm…. not easy actually, but after quite some tweaking and tuning the result was satisfactory.

My idea had come out working. Now I can do a bit of team flying AND keep up with the current Corona virus restrictions!

I must admit the best thing is better, but this is the second best thing, just clone yourself and do some flying! You’re gonna be in perfect synchronization!

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you…

The Team Three Clones!
