Cork man plans African flight with engine strapped to his back

Self-employed Cork-based architect, Oisín Creagh, will use a paramotor — a back-mounted two-stroke engine-powered propeller and a parachute-style wing — to complete the epic 3,000km journey and hopefully fly into the record books.
The unsupported journey over open seas and soaring mountain ranges will be one of the longest paramotor expeditions ever undertaken.
