German Feklistov — hang glider pilot

 Pilot Herman Feklistov can’t imagine what his life would be like without the sky and flying. It was hang-gliding itself that helped him to spread his wings. To him, this light, flying apparatus, which is a type of powered hang-glider, is a means of transport, entertainment and a kind of family pet. With the help of his trike, Herman was able to reach his long-time dream of flying and find some real friends, fans and true flying enthusiasts. Pilots, including Herman, define themselves as people “in love with the sky.” In order to become an ultralight trike pilot, Herman had to undergo training. He also had to pass exams in order to prove his piloting abilities, after which he received a flight certificate. This pilot dedicates all of his free time to flying around the mountains of Adygea and Krasnodar Krai, gladly pointing out the local beauty to tourists as he flies like a bird using his beloved set of wings.
