Flying high: Glider footage from above Alvord Desert, Steens Mountain
“Go-go-go, go-go-go,” says the pilot, and a moment later the glider is rolling fast on the Alvord Desert playa.
Seconds after that it is airborne and the amazing eastern Oregon views begin.
Watch as the glider turns towards the east side of Steens Mountain and brace for the perfect landing!
