Glider Having Too Much Fun in the Mountains


category: ridge
Duration: 00:18:26
Description:
Enjoy gliding just feet off the tree tops in Utah's Wasatch Front Mountains and the Wasatch Plateau while enjoying the changing colors of leaves. This video really helps to show just how amazing modern gliders are in riding mountain air currents to stay up. It almost seems like perpetual motion to see planes like this fly hundreds of miles without an engine and at speeds often in excess of 140 mph! If you would like to see the full flight from takeoff to landing, click on the link at the end of the video. Thanks so much for watching and I always enjoy your comments and questions! Bruno - B4

Here is a link to the flight's gps track: http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0/gliding/flightinfo.html?dsId=5425266

The glider is an asw27b 15-meter racing sailplane and the camera is a GoPro Hero3 Black.
