Glider Skimming the Salt River Mountain Peaks
Ride along as a high performance glider / sailplane flies just feet above the mountain top rocks while enjoying a fun day out flying. The Salt River Mountains are located on the east side of Afton Wyoming's Star Valley. The glider is a 15 meter (50 foot wingspan) carbon fiber modern glider capable of flying 180 miles per hour and can glide 47 feet forward for every foot dropped. We look for areas of lift where the air is going up faster than the glider is descending so that is how we are able to fly many hundreds of miles and many hours in a day. I hope you enjoy the video!

It is worth ...
First Time 29+ Years Flying in Mountains I Got Scared
Просмотров 14 тыс.10 месяцев назад
Sorry I didn't have my video camera running the 2 minutes before this video started but I was flying for my life. I was flying my high performance glider (sailplane) in the Salt River Mountains near Afton, Wyoming when I hit an extreme pocket of descending air that made me fly for my life out through a side canyon. Unfortunately the down air was also in the canyon so I didn't know if I would ma...

Afton is located near the south end of the beautiful Star Valley with the Salt River Range mountains just a mile to the east.

Glider over Lake Powell in Storm
Просмотров 24 тыс.Год назад
Lake Powell Utah/Arizona is a beautiful but desolate desert landscape of just water and rocks. I flew my high performance glider / sailplane over the lake from north to south on a pretty stormy day and it made for quite the adventure. Landing at Page was not planned but the thunderstorm forced my friend Dan in his glider and me in mine down in strong winds and rain. The people working at Page w...

Top Gun in the Mountains - Gliders Play Up There Too

Flying through the mountains happens much more than just in the movies. Glider pilots who are crazy/brave enough can play and fly amoung the mountain peaks like what you see in the big screen - just a little bit slower and not hitting 9 . G's. The glider is an ASW27 and the airport I am flying from is Nephi, Utah. This footage was taken just east of Manti, Utah. Thanks as always for watching an...
11 Most Memorable Glider Landings
Просмотров 87 тыс.2 года назад
You can never be quite sure where you are going to end up landing when you fly a glider. That can be both terrifying and thrilling at the same time. With training, glider pilots learn to manage their energy and altitudes so well that they can land just about anywhere safely. Here are a few landings I have made over the years that turned out pretty interesting. I hope you enjoy! Thanks as always...

    Bruno- any thoughts at all from you about the routine not being “ allowed” , prior to FAA surprising you? I mean , what would have happened if you just flew by them ? Not mentioning anything about an aerobatic routine? Seems petty to me.

    What was the big deal? That was standard sailplane air show stuff. Many sailplanes, like his, are fully aerobatic as well. He had clearance to perform over the airfield, and he didn’t do the aerobatics over the spectators. Just because sailplanes don’t have engines, many people make assumptions and misunderstand their safety & capabilities. It’s common to do loops, spins, wing overs, etc.

    The FAA is highly politicized shop ran by forced DEI leadership with little to no qualifications. Thanks for making a joke out of a once very professional and needed organization. Why are gliders of all things preyed upon but cities can be burned to the ground with no arrest. Like I said. Total joke.

    The Helicopter should yield his right of way. The GLIDER has ATC clearance and is engaged in low level flight. The jackass Helicopter has engine power. Why the helicopter doesn’t hold outside is insane. The helicopter pilot should be fined for this incident.

    Happened to me too! I flew with Air O'Dell Flight School. I flew a glider in a similar way to you. It was absolutely thrilling seeing what the machine can do. But a was running low on fuel and glided it back to the runway. I was reported to the FAA for this apparent infraction and had my licence suspended for 6 months.

    Winching… Yeah, it’s how I learned, here in UK, in open cockpit gliders too. Quite dramatic at first; even more so if you get a cable break in the steepest part of your climb out. As you’re already sitting back in the cockpit, when the cable breaks your mind screams that your ‘going over the top’; at least at first, ’till you get used to it 🤣Anyway, great fun 😎
