Description:
This was a truly historic moment in the history of flight. We covered the first glider race live through the mountains of New Zealand's South Island - over 300 kilometres. We had multiple cameras in each glider, two AS 350 helicopters (one relaying microwave for the onboard cameras - one was the HD camera ship) and live GPS data being sent back to the production base using multiple Iridium satellite modems. It all came together - and the story we told was amazing. See Gladiators of the Sky DVD for the full story. Contact peter.newport@flightmarketing.co.nz for more information.
