Fly along with a fully loaded ASW27 high performance sailplane as it flies the mountains just east of Provo, Utah. Pilot talks about some of the decisions of the flight and takes you in for a landing with a few surprises at the end. ;) Hope you enjoy. Bruno

While there are huge mountains that we fly right next to we can always glide to a farmer's field within a few miles of us. Thank goodness for healthy glide ratios while flying in the mountains! :) I visited your country a few years ago and fell in love. I loved the canals of Amsterdam. Beautiful place! Bruno

"Hope you enjoyed it" was your last comment before turning off the cam. I did - I hooted out loud I enjoyed it so much. On future recordings, one thing I would appreciate is a little more thinking out loud about the actual flying - what your are doing with the controls, the decisions you make along the way, how you find lift, etc. Anyway, great stuff, keep it up..

Bruno, wuv the vids.. what stick's out the most is how calm, methodical your flying is. The light touch on the stick shows your skill level, the continuous check of controls indicates your thought process.. Thanks

Also, when things slow down, give us a lesson on everything in the cockpit, thermals, the whole nine. In nebraska we can't do cool things like this, but I can do cool things through you. :)

This just absolutely blows my mind. Before this I just thought with gliders you get towed up, the plane releases you and you just glide back down. I had no idea you could travel this far and fly like this! Look how close you are to the mountains it's just crazy cool! Sign me up!

Hi Douglas. Thanks for watching. We stop soaring here in Utah around now but might do one of more wave flights if the weather is ok up through December. We don't start gliding again until April. I am happy to hear you want more videos. I have 3-4 flights I have video of that I will do something with over the winter to keep the videos coming. The next will probably be when I landed in a field in Hobbs this summer. Quite exciting! ;) Stay tuned. Bruno

Bruno Vassel This is our club flying field, which is in a perfect location. It is on top a 700 ft hill, and since the winds come from the southwest most of the time, we can slope soar all day, or just thermal when the sun is out. goo.gl/maps/8v37KYUn4j42
