I don't think I'll be singing the 'blues on board a brilliant aircraft amidst the Alps!

hallo Norbert ,kleine Frage .....hast Du 2 Kameras installiert oder ist der Film zusammen geschnitten aus verschiedenen Flügen ?

Hallo Willfried

Alles klar in Kanada?

Ich habe ein paar schöne Szenen von der Saison 2011 zusammengeschnitten. Die Kamera ist manchmal links und manchmal rechts montiert. Es wirkt auf diese Art weniger langweilig. Ich hoffe, es geht bald wieder los. Anfangs März haben wir das erste Ligafliegen, aber vorher mache ich noch mit den Sumpfhüenern die Nächte ein bisschen unsicher ;-)

Grüsse aus der Schweiz.

Norbert

After 20 years of hanggliding I quit in 1999. Your video's remind me of the good times when I flew the Icaro Laminar.

This Atos VR is a nice looking glider, keep those video's coming.

@BlokartS260 why did you quit? i've seen a one-legged guy take off

@BlokartS260

How can You quit a dream?

@Glide4447 and timmay301

As you know Holland is flat and crowded so it takes some organising to do nice XC flights. For most Dutch pilots flying is concentrated around the summer holidays, and when you don't make that many flights it's quite expensive. We always have to drive a long way to fly in the mountains.

As a former member of the Dutch National Hanggliding Team I flew at many beautiful places (like the Owens Valley) but over the years it cost me a lot of money.

Nowadays I follow the hanggliding scene by watching videos on Youtube.

I am looking forward to see your future uploads, particularly those with the beautiful Swiss scenery in the background.

Fly safe.

@BlokartS260 i will upload some more stuff this year :)

@Glide4447 Nice video!! ;) What altitude would you have to reach to freeze?

[Glide4447]

@HerresKoolaid

we often have more than 4000m (12000ft) and fly for 5 to 7 hours at once.

its very cold up there, but during a 200 km trip the sight on mountains, valleys and glaciers are so interesting and beautiful, that we forget the temperature.

@Glide4447 My God, that scenery is so beautiful i dont think anything could keep my from going up there. Keep up the good work guys and God bless ;)
