Antares 20E at ILA Berlin 2006 (better image quality)

My flight display at the ILA Berlin Air Show 2006, with the electric self-launching sailplane Antares 20E from Lange Aviation GmbH

This is a re-upload of my other video found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vaMEstfZ8M
Back in 2006 the YouTube encoder had a much lower quality. This is closer to the original image from the camera (no HD back then).

It was a very exciting week flying there. Feeling rather small waiting at the taxiway hold point, having a display slot between a F16 and the Airbus A380. I flew the same display 5 days. Having only a single camera, this video is a combination of these flights. The airshow display rules are very strict, so the flights are rather conservative with no low-passes and such. There was even a military radar checking that we never went below 100m AGL except when taking off and landing.

The music track is "Jumbo" by Underworld.
