Constantly looking for adventure and challenge, Ozone team pilot Emilia Plak had an idea to make an over sea flight crossing from Menorca to Mallorca Island, Spain. In late September on a Saturday morning, she took off from Ciutadella in Menorca and 1,5 hours and 68 km later landed in port Alcudia of Mellorca. She flew with a Slalom 19 and was accompanied by another pilot flying the new Roadster 2 26.

Emilia reports:

“Baleares islands are a one night ferry ride away form my house. We didn’t think much about the plan. As soon as the weather looked more or less OK we took a ferry to Menorca. We had no boat following us but we were equipped with all possible safety equipment: GPS, iPhone, Agama water rescue system, life jackets, wet suit, knife, smoke system, torch and … an airbed from a Chinese shop.

“There will be plenty of boats crossing from Menorca to Mallorca during weekend” – said my friend, when we were discussing the plan. In reality there were NO boats at all! Fortunately we had an emergency contact in Mallorca. The flight went incredibly well despite the visibility that day being really bad. After only 30 minutes of …read more

FlashpixStudio recently released a nice video that includes Ozone Team pilot Alex Mateos and Big Jim, a BMW sponsored professional motorcycle rider. The video is so spectacular that it very quickly reached 10,000 views in the first few days after release.

Alex Mateos says:

“This video was made on a circuit Clastres in France. We spend there a few days flying and riding together in weather conditions good enough to make all the precision shots we wanted. For me it was the first time I flew on a circuit and together with such a talented and passionate rider like Bi Jim. We came with this idea because Big Jim is a paramotor pilot as well and we though it would be interesting to fly and ride together to promote both disciplines. It was great fun to fly next to him and being able to touch his hands or helmet. Good fun flying and good laugh but same time plenty of work to make it happen. Thank you for all the team, everybody who help us to make this video!”

Cheers from all the Team.
