GIMP.
I have tried to increase the clarity in the landscape and make the paragliders stand out.
A second version, cropped to make the paragliders the main subject.

No need to post my edits - too similar to @david.
FYI I was unable to render the image with @dqpcoxeas’ original sidecar. Maybe I have a PC memory or processing issue.
I did see the history with multiple copies of color balance rgb… Never tried more than two myself…

Feel free to show us your version.
I’m using the master version, which may be why you’re having problems with the sidecar file.

I hope this sidecar file is valid.
As for the multiple instances of colour balance, you’re right, mea culpa. I usually use some presets that @MarcoNex has shared, which I find very useful.

Silly me; I should have realized this! Thank you. 
My crop is based on the size of my monitor (~68 cm). A very large print would (IMO) need much less cropping. It is a very nice shot and I like the feeling of depth and space that it gives. The crop sacrifices much of that for clarity.

I did a light-touch color grade based on an “rgb primaries” preset that I think I swiped from one of Boris’ videos.

I think what I really wanted to do was kind of mute the sky and ground, to let the hanggliders sing. However, I suspect what I actually did was get very excited about all of the colours in the aerofoils.
