Uroš Praš took my GPS tracker with him on a few wingsuit flights. The result is a big log file, with a lot of statistics. I used GpsActionReplay software to create the image and to review the flight path and characteristics. With these little devices one can record position, altitude, speed, heading, satellite info and other information with ease. You can then use this information to render paths in Google Earth, GpsActionReplay or similar software products.

Below is a screenshot with current altitute and speed over ground as calculated by GpsActionReplay. Some speeds are simply weird, but you get the picture. It is definetly nice to have this data available.

Včeraj smo naredili (nekateri) en skok, potem pa se je “zaprlo”. Tunel Basic Camp v Skyventure Orlando smo zakljucili in naše inštruktorje lahko pohvalim. Jaz sem se v tunel zaljubil. Je res odlično, trening in sama metodologija dela je bila odlična, Sky Dragonsi super. Same pohvale. Jaz sem naletel cca 1h 15m ter nekatere stvari dejansko tudi preizkusil v zraku. Vsaj zame je bil tunel res super.

Ker je oblacno, vetrovno in nasploh slaba napoved, se bomo najverjetneje odpravili v Kennedy Space Center. Včeraj pa smo obiskali Warbird museum — fotke sledijo.
