It all sounds like a mission, doesn’t it? Indeed, flying in cold temperatures is a challenge in itself – and arranging it to happen in front of the Northern Lights is even more challenging.

“I wanted to make sure I had a very powerful paramotor. The 200cc machine gave me the chance to climb whenever I wanted – or get out of trouble if I needed to,” said Llorens about what it took engine-wise to complete the project.

He also obtained a permission from the Swedish government, and then there was only one more thing he needed: a wetsuit. Since most of Llorens’ flight was done over extremely cold water, he needed a proper one to give him 20 minutes or so for rescuers to get to him – rather than the two or three minutes he would have had without it.

He also needed heated gloves to keep his fingers warm enough for fine control over the throttle, while the final piece of the flying package was battery-powered spotlights to light up his rig against the night sky.

Well, you’ve seen the result above. According to his account, it was one of Llorens’ most incredible experiences of his very adventurous life.
