If I'm not mistaken the take off scene was shot on the frozen Eibsee, a lake just outside Garmisch-Partenkirchen. It sits just below the Zupspitze, Germany's highest peak at about 10k ft. I was stationed there in Army for several years and flew the crap out of my hang glider all around those peaks.
