Vuarnet Sunglasses Commercial with LS1

[OHM Ω http://aviation.derosaweb.net]

There are shown several gliders soaring. A single place (JS1), a two place (something) and a 3 ship gaggle.

Do we really want sunglasses with side shields while soaring? Hmmmm.

JS1 not LS1. Nice ad.

I see a JS1, something probably Schempp-Hirth (side hinged canopy) and a Kestrel or possibly early Hornet.

Not a good idea. Anything that lessons the one's view is a bad idea. That includes hats with a large brim, as well as baseball hats. See all of that which is around you.

Nice, but the sailboat winch scene looks really strange -- unwrapping backwards??

I particularly like the cut to the shot from the wing of the JS-1 at 0:31 where they catch the pilot poking his sunglasses back into place - apparently after they slid down his nose. My Vuarnets did that all the time. They are quality optics though.

Merry Christmas!

I like the footage at 00:33 seconds where the glider is in a right bank, but the background is clearly showing a left turn. Don't stare at it too long, you might barf.

It's almost like he is going backwards.
