Up High

If you look closely you’ll see a little dot in the upper right of the picture near the top edge.  The hang glider is over 2000 feet high.

 

How they do that

If you’re a fan of Hawaii Five-O in it’s current form you’ve seen those flyover sequences of Oahu.  Several times I’ve seen the helicopter flying over Oahu that films them.  I was at Makapuu in January when the Paradise helicopter flew past.  This shot  shows the helicopter moving around the Makapuu Lighthouse.  Just under the nose is the housing containing the camera
