Tehachapi pass is a very unforgiving bit of real estate.
Wild winds up there
Drought, fire, flood; rinse and repeat.
Watched a guy flying an ultra lite at 200 feet get snapped in a micro burst up there.
He almost hit the ground in a microsecond.
I thought the wings would snap off when he caught air like 10 feet off the ground.
We got him settled with margaritas and rode dirt bikes but that guy never flew again that weekend.
He’s prolly still scrubbing his shorts.
Watch the video. Amazing.
