This was forwarded to me from my dad. Thought you would all like to see it too. Formation flying at its finest with one 79 year old guy at the controls.

This guy is an 8 time multiple kite champion and is 79 years old. Rey Bethell is his name. Enjoy.

Now, that's some skill! At first I didn't realize he was flying them all by himself!

How about that?! Maybe I should try flying both left and right wing in the sim next practice eh, not!

Not only the multitasking, but he's very good at flying a kite even solo. Cool stuff!

Incredible skills. The older I get the more I love to see things like this. Proof positive you never have to grow up
