Hats off to you Kurt!! This has rekindled my gliding life, last time I went up was 1985 at R.A.F. Scampton, Lincolnshie, England in a Sedburgh with just a windscreen, lapbelts and no canopy!! Winch launch then up to 5,000ft managed to pull a near perfect loop. Thing was, my right seat guy had his two year old strapped to his knees!! Congrats on a fabulous video. Andy

Kurt,
This has become my absolute favourite video. Your Jazz track is SO cool and evokes in me that awesome peaceful emotion that flying a glider has always brought to me. And your son - I assume it is your son - with his childhood delight at having been up there must take everyone who sees this back to that first wonder we experienced at the miracle of flight - That delight that something that we had built or flown, helped with, or just stood and watched was now UP THERE. Thanks. :-) Paul

Glad to hear you enjoyed it so much. The club did the same event this year (2007), but I couldn't make it.
FWIW, that isn't my son...it's the child of the guy he's sitting next to in the plane. But I can tell you his exuberance was a wonderful thing to witness.

What kind of plane is the flying wing that launched about halfway through the video?

If you're asking about the powered wing... I don't know what that aircraft is called.
