It is a compilation of a Swiss pilot's best video from the 2009
soaring season. *Amazing landscape. *Click the HD button and watch it
full screen if your computer can handle it. *I'm not usually a big fan
of music being used instead of the natural sounds of flight, but this
one worked for me.


The production quality is quite high.


I really liked the effect of the reflection of the landscape on the
side of the glider in many of the sequences.


The pilot posts that this was done with a hand-held camera (Panasonic
FX-35) held outside the canopy. *The video was image-stabilized and
zoomed in during post-production. *He doesn't report what make of
glider and I'm not experienced enough to identify it.

Very nice indeed...

Glider types in use: A Nimbus 2C (you can see the call-sign HB-1480 at
3:07), then a Duo Discus (HB-3427).
The other gliders being filmed from above are both ASH25

Vimeo version also includes mention of DG-505 used.
