There's lots of options to choose from:
Plane
3-axis microlight (what you have photographed in the first post)
weight-shift microlight
paraglider
paramotor (paraglider with an engine strapped to your back)
hang glider
powered hang glider (hang glider with an engine strapped to your back)
para trike (paramotor on wheels)
glider
motor glider
helicopter
autogiro (no the plane, not benefit payments by direct debit)
hot air balloon
helium balloon
hydrogen balloon aka the hindenberg (no scrub that one..)
Jet Pack
I've tried 6 of these, but have settled on paramotoring.
It's great fun.
Starting lessons in a couple of weeks. Look out above!
