View Full Version : Argentina - Klaus Ohlman DVD

November 28th 06, 02:18 PM
Hi,
I need a little help from someone that owns the film about Klaus Ohlman's
adventures soaring in Argentina. The title of the film is "Argentina". I
want to own a copy for myself and to sell it on my web site. I know that
Tom Knauff sells it, so there is no need to tell me that. I'm looking for
an e-mail address for Klaus or the the company that manufactures the DVDs.
It would also be interesting to hear a review of it.
Thanks,
Paul Remde

I bought it some time ago and do like it.
It is very different from all others i own. Most DVDs try to promote
gliding by having people who are in the sport show how exciting it can
be. Here i think there is a bit more detail on the flight preparation
and the decisions made by the pilot, and some explanations on the
systems he uses to predict the conditions. And we get the chance to
follow from start to end a record flight (3008km!!!), achieved after a
change of plans with several hundreds of kms already done.
Apart from that, the scenery is absolutely amazing... and i feel good
just imagining doing a flight in such conditions. There is a funny scene
showing how tuff retrievals can be around there.
Cheers,
Ricardo

The views and cloud formations shown in the DVD are food for any glider
pilots' eyes.
You also have to admire Klaus' laid back style. I had to view the
in-cockpit scenes a few times to convince myself that this was the
actual record flight he was filming. At first glance you would have
thought he was out for a Sunday ride. This guy is cool as ice -- no
wonder he has accomplished so many records.
