So sad to hear this song . All his videos were amazing . He had good musical tastes.

L'aereo più fiero del mondo 🕶

I was just thinking about you today and how I loved your videos. I came back to have a look... You are missed my friend.

Beautiful

Soaring is about winning altitude from the application of a basic personal set of skills and knowledge to work directly with the elusive bounties of nature. Nothing else comes close. The 'music' was not well chosen.

Super 👍👍👍👍

This is my favourite balleka video, having only discovered the channel last year. I still watch it regularly, there's something just so awe-inspiring about all of his videos. What a legend!!! RIP

A friend of mine was just playing this song. It immediately reminded me of this video that I first watched now nearly 14 years ago. Brought back many memories and put a big smile on my face. Thank you.

If can could you post some inflight window views of the wing of a 747-200 I’ve been looking for that for a long time!!!!! 5 or 10 minutes would be great.

2024🎉

I miss his videos

That was a bit short takeoff of the Boeing 747-200/B ;)

RIP. I took my first flying lesson because of you.

13 year old vid and im just seeing this now……wow

Too bad it's already Been scrapped😢😢

This aircraft was put into storage about 1 months after this video was posted. The aircraft was then scrapped in 2013 so sad :(

Something you have to do, up close in person to know how good it really is. A bargain with mother nature, her bounty and your your skill. It is a rate and precious thing. As good as any to know what being alive means.

Been gliding 56 years. Still the best thing I do at 71 years young! John. FAI/BGA 51417.

My bad, I was thinkn of the L 10-11 your correct, my bad,.my apology.

SPECTACULAR FOOTAGE!!!!!! ALTHOUGH THIS ISN'T AN L 10 11 THIS IS A DC-10, I STILL LOVE THIS OUTSTANDING FOOTAGE, WHATS THE CHANCES OF YOU CATCHN UP TO ANOTHER JUMBO LIKE THIS, 🤯😵😱, WOWWWW!!! GREAT JOB, FRIEND, WHAT AIRCRAFT WERE FLING IN WHEN YOU CAUGHT UP TO THIS LUFTHANSA??? 👌😉👍😁👍 MORE PLEASE 😁👍😉👍😉

I feel I have to add a little bit. Sometimes, looking back over a long, and not uneventful life, some of my best moments were catching a thermal. I working it to cloud base and then set off cross country with no guarantee that I would make it back to the gliding field. There is a deep satisfaction in trusting to your skills and the bounties of nature. The breathtaking splendour of breaking out of a well-developed cumulous cloud into a dazzling world of the whitest of white and the bluest of blue, and imagining this magic belongs to you.

Years ago, at Sutton Bank, Yorkshire, it was possible to ridge soar for miles along the Hambleton hills. And in the T21, with the open cockpit and high wing just a few feet from the clifftop path, it was delightful with the scent of wildflowers and eavesdropping on the chatter of the walkers who seemed to enjoy a cheery wave. It was the only way to fly very low legally. I hope it still is and the powers that be never change it.

I remember spotting you in Lux during these years 🤙

This one and ASW-22, nicest glider ever, for me.

We , have achieved, Thermal Ascension...... ✌️😎😁. And that's a fact....😂

RIP.. my angel 😇

ASH25 ein wunderschöner Segler, tolle Aufnahmen 🤩

6 years :( still watching. fitting last vid where u rise above the grey to a stunning view..

This was the best video I've seen in a long time. The tail end of the golden days

i was looking for exactly a video like this, thank you man.

It’s pretty cool that it takes place on an airplane

ALL DAY… I could watch this all damn day.. ❤

Seeing the Hajj terminal in Jeddah brought back many memories, mostly in the form of scent because of all the Pilgrams that transit it not showering for weeks but none the less I had a pretty good time there. World MX Rep, 00-01.

Still awesome ten years after I first saw it 🔥🔥🔥

RIP Matt. You truly knew what ment to live your life.

Sometimes I come back to this video when I'm feeling down and for some reason, it makes me feel good. Thanks Matt :)

Wow, the algorithm really gave me this video. Im amazed.

Nice!

Awesome pilot

May you rest in peace Matt. You have left us with some wonderful memories and no doubt have inspired many to take to the skies, where you are flying now wtih no more earthly concerns. Thank you for your spirit and beautiful contributions. With love and sadness - Dave

Gorgeous retro cockpit ❤

Take me back 😢❤

How ironic are the words of this song. RIP Matt, you and your videos are surely missed.

It's been 13 years since I first saw this video, and I can't believe it's been that long. When I think of my childhood, this is the first thing I jump to, and it feels like multiple lifetimes since I first saw it with my dad. Thank you for all of the times you've gotten those songs stuck in my head, and more importantly, thank you for making me want to fly planes like those from a young age.

As an ex ship's radio officer (merchant navy)....I know how it feels to lose your job to technology and automation. Great video!

❤️❤️❤️
