Glider Video

[n5lp]

Couldn't find an appropriate forum for this, but here it is anyway.

RVs are great but gliders are a lot of fun also.

I don't speak Polish but this appears to be some spliced together stuff of gliders flying in mountains and a contest in Poland. Note that late in the video there are a great many gliders in close proximity. In the glider world this is not formation flying, it is just normal thermal flying.

I didn't see him in a speaking part, but the credits mention Sebastion Kawa, the BEST pilot I have ever been around.

Watch this, it has a bit of the feel of those extreme skiing films.

So Larry, let's say a guy wanted to take a little vacation time, go someplace and add a glider rating to his ticket....any "turnkey" vacation packages you'd recommend? Man, that video can really set the hook!

(I have a fair amount of "Heavy Glider Simulator" time, but somehow, I don't think it's relevant....)
