- Fly along with a fully loaded ASW27 high performance sailplane as it flies the mountains just east of Provo, Utah. Pilot talks about some of the decisions of the flight and takes you in for a landing with a few surprises at the end. ;) Hope you enjoy. Bruno

Thanks so much for watching. I hope you get a chance to fly a glider some day. You will love it! Bruno
Thanks for watching. I have many other videos that show the launch behind a tow plane. Check out some of these on my channel. Enjoy. Bruno
While there are huge mountains that we fly right next to we can always glide to a farmer's field within a few miles of us. Thank goodness for healthy glide ratios while flying in the mountains! :) I visited your country a few years ago and fell in love. I loved the canals of Amsterdam. Beautiful place! Bruno
"Hope you enjoyed it" was your last comment before turning off the cam. I did - I hooted out loud I enjoyed it so much. On future recordings, one thing I would appreciate is a little more thinking out loud about the actual flying - what your are doing with the controls, the decisions you make along the way, how you find lift, etc. Anyway, great stuff, keep it up..
You bet, check out some of my other videos. I have some fun little loop sequences in some of them. Bruno
Yes I did enjoy it...very much. Thank you . You are good pilot! I envy you!
Hi Douglas. Thanks for watching. We stop soaring here in Utah around now but might do one of more wave flights if the weather is ok up through December. We don't start gliding again until April. I am happy to hear you want more videos. I have 3-4 flights I have video of that I will do something with over the winter to keep the videos coming. The next will probably be when I landed in a field in Hobbs this summer. Quite exciting! ;) Stay tuned. Bruno
I'm a 20 yr vet paraglider guy who loves watching this. And I've flown with gliders , they are super fast. 120 mph to 200 Easy. Pulling circles around myself while the making mountains
I enjoyed! Brilliant flying. A master of his craft in every sense of the word.
I posted this flight on the OLC on June 15. The landing airport is Cedar Valley, UT10. Thanks for watching. Bruno
I have great pleasure in following the content of your videos. Super job.

Thank you for taking me on my very first virtual glider flight.
Thanks for posting this. I have about 70 hours of flat land soaring, but have always wanted to try ridge soaring. Truly spectacular.
Come out and fly with us this summer Larry! We are doing a big event in Nephi, Utah in the end of June and you would have a blast.
The way you surf over that ridge is awesome, Bruno. I come to watch this eye-catching vid and I never feel tired of the bumpy-jumpy part!!
Another great video Bruno, and big thanks for extra minutes with the landing.
Bruno, you have inspired me to start taking sailflying lessons! Love your videos!
Your comment made my day! That's awesome that you are flying yourself. Congrats!!! Have fun and be safe. Bruno
:) Thanks so much for watching.
Great to hear you are starting to learn! Best of luck, have a great time and be safe. Bruno
Awesome to hear you will begin training soon! You will have a complete blast. Enjoy every second up there in the sky and be safe. Bruno
I flew this route 30 years ago with Lee Steorts in our Libelles! Thanks for the great video. Gary
Lee was a super nice guy. Fun to help you relive the memory Gary. Bruno
I've gotta say as a powered pilot I've been seriously enjoying your videos. I never thought modern sailplanes could do the amazing flights your'e documenting. Makes me want to go fly gliders. Keep up the great videos.
Good! That is the goal of these videos: entertaining and makes you want to try gliding! :) Go take a demo ride for yourself and see what it really is like. You won't be disappointed! Bruno
Jamie, why don't you come out to Monroe to see for yourself. I'd be glad to show you around the club. Bruno I just added glider rating last year and have enjoyed watching your videos as well. Will have to meet up one day. Going to TN with MGSA soaring association to do some ridge soaring in a couple of weeks. Not like Utah I'm sure but looking forward to it
Great ! Thanks for the ride.
This just absolutely blows my mind. Before this I just thought with gliders you get towed up, the plane releases you and you just glide back down. I had no idea you could travel this far and fly like this! Look how close you are to the mountains it's just crazy cool! Sign me up!
Yeah Bruno! That WAS fun and I really enjoyed the ride! you are an excellent guide and instructor. Thanks a lot for the vid.
Excellent video! What a rush flying right by the mountaintops!
Simply said, it is amazing!
Bruno, wuv the vids.. what stick's out the most is how calm, methodical your flying is. The light touch on the stick shows your skill level, the continuous check of controls indicates your thought process.. Thanks
Thanks for sharing. A joy to watch but wishing I had the joy to fly that beautiful sailplane.
I have a local gliding club just 800m from my house. I think I might go down there and introduce myself. Your videos are awesome! Thank you and don't stop posting.
Awesome video--really enjoyed it. I am a pilot but never had the chance to fly Utah. I lived there in 1965. Thanks again.
Thank you for narrating this vid. I love good music, but knowing what's in a pilots head is great. The parents are from SLC and I've spent many summers in those mountains with the cousins. Mom enjoyed your vid too. She loves them as she spent her childhood there camping in the 50's.
dude, i didn't think i'd watch the whole thing. not only did i watch the whole thing, i'm gonna go watch some more of your clips! that was totally awesome! thanks!
Amazing video. Thank you very much for sharing. What a wonderful glider you have. I am really jealous of the wonderful time you have in it. Hopefully I may become a glider pilot in the near future and have at least part of that fun. Congratulations and please keep sharing.
Your videos are great man I watch alot of them. Im going to begin my glider training in 2 months at the beginning of spring (South Hemisphere - New Zealand) and cant wait.
Thanks for the flip. I enjoyed it all the way from South Africa.
Ditto from South Africa - it was awesome!
Thanks, enjoyed every minute of it. It would be awesome if you did a complete flight (including pre-flight checks, etc) to give us a real feel for it. Also, when things slow down, give us a lesson on everything in the cockpit, thermals, the whole nine. In nebraska we can't do cool things like this, but I can do cool things through you. :)
Thanks for sharing the video Bruno, loved every minute :-) You are obviously at one with your sailplane watching your control movements.
I did a week's gliding course 40 years ago here in the UK, enjoyed it but didn't keep it up. I recently gained my PPL and now enjoyind powered flight.
Gliding clubs are the best, see ssa.org
Ok. Several questions.
1. water in the wings? you purposely put water in your wings, not for drinking?
2. Now that you drink the water from the wings, where do you pee? Is there a hole at the bottom of the plane to let loose?
3. Since you're so close to the mountains, what do you do if you fall lower than the mountains? Do you just crash?
I feel like these are all reasonable questions. You can't just put this awesome video and not expect this.
Great scenery and enjoyed every minute.
I did enjoy it, Thank you
Awesome flying man! Im just north of you at U42 in West Jordan. Ive done a few practice maneuvers out at Cedar Valley myself. LOVED those high speed passes over midfield you did!
You made me pucker along that ridge line man. Great footage.
Fantastic video. Thank you for making and sharing these.
You are living my dream!
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I'm sold on those jet engines 100%. On a Glider it even makes more sense.
Love these longer videos! keep them coming!
very enjoyable..thanks for posting..!!!
Great video, I really enjoyed watching it.
Great flight, lovely plane to fly!
I've only flown powered aircraft but that looks AWESOME!!! Loved the low pass just before landing. :))
Have watched many of your flights and really enjoyed the trips, keep it up, better than watching the tv. 👍
Water helps the glider to carry more energy and fly faster. Sounds crazy but really works very well. I normally carry about 36 gallons of water on good days. Bruno
First time watching your video. It was fantastic. Great views. The whole thing was great. Loved the landing part. Hope you keep all the takeoffs and landings in your videos. Just makes the video complete.
That would be super cool. I have done several acrobatic routines for the hikers and have been bummed out that none have posted on youtube. Many had their cameras out and were filming. Some day. :) Bruno
you rocked that flight! The buzz job at the end was amazing! great flight!
The K7 is a great glider. You are a lucky guy to now have experienced what we do up there in the sky. Congrats. Would love to see any videos you post. Bruno
I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for posting?
Thanks for the tip. Great video. :)
So cool! Those low flybys were fun
Love the video Bruno. You are my #1 inspiration for getting back into gliding someday!
Wow, that was beautiful!
awesome - and every time more and more - fantastic film - now better seen and also heard altitude sound - thanks otherwise - happy landings where ever
I don’t know why I find it so amazing
Beautiful scenery in your videos, gotta love it.
Of course I wish to fly now.
You have to try it! It is even better than these videos show.
Just wondering, ... are there other ways to find thermals to gain altitude?
Could you see them if you looked thru a 'device' ?
Bruno Vassel
It would be great to have a heads up display showing various heat signatures of thermals spiraling upwards :)
Bruno Vassel
I'd love to try flying in a sailplane.
I think I'm 'hooked'.
I can't believe that I never even tried it while living in SLC. That would've been a fantastic place to begin.
Cheers!
Looking forward to seeing more videos.
Glad you enjoyed it Nathan. I have a few more longer ones coming. It is a trade off to the short fun clips because the longer ones can quickly become boring but for the few who like to see a longer duration of video I am happy to oblige. :) Take care, Bruno
Nice flight!!!
amazing footage. love the video!
Beautiful footage. I'm a powered pilot that doesn't get out that much anymore, and watching your vids sure makes me want to get my glider rating once again.
man i love those mountains. i used to fly years ago here in the UK. gotta travel a long way to find ridges like that. your vids have given me the bug again. gonna start again next summer. have fun be safe.
This is the next thing I want to see on an IMAX screen.
HI Bruno. In the UK we call a low pass a "beat up". Always a highlight after a long flight, just don't forget WUFSTALL!
Great !!!!
Thanks for sharing.
Once again another AMAZING video! I do like to watch you land, so please include that in as many videos as possible. I have never seen a low pass from the cockpit view, so I really enjoyed that as well. Thanks for posting and keep up the great flying!
Your best video, yet!
Love your work. Thank you.
I sure do love your videos Bruno. I fly model aircraft as a hobby, and just purchased a scale ASW 20 with a 15.5 foot wingspan. There are many model and full scale glider pilots here in Germany. As an American from the midwest, they amaze me!
+GuyOnTwoWheels I have never seen the giant size RC in real life but they look pretty amazing in videos. I hope you can take a ride in a real sailplane while you are over there. Thanks for commenting.

Bruno Vassel I live only 11 minutes from a sailplane field, I have ridden by it on my mountain bike and watched them land. Perhaps when I have the language down better, I will to there and talk to them. goo.gl/maps/XT6dseNSH192
Bruno Vassel This is our club flying field, which is in a perfect location. It is on top a 700 ft hill, and since the winds come from the southwest most of the time, we can slope soar all day, or just thermal when the sun is out. goo.gl/maps/8v37KYUn4j42
I wish more often. The airport that I fly out of only has one or two other gliders that like to do longer cross country flights so I am often up there on my own. It is fun to call from 150 miles out and check in on the ones that are still within 10 miles of the airport. ;)
I am in awe, amazing video.
I always enjoy your videos Bruno. Thanks for doing them.
How Fantastic!
That was awsome! So lucky...!!!
During my long flying carieer I never even tried to show off to the people on the ground. That was the first thing they taught us in the pilot school....no matter , jet plane or glider .
wow this was surprisingly interesting. well done sir.
No not at all. I still love the ASW20 but felt it was time to move on to a newer glider and sold it to a very close friend. The ASW27 is 20 years newer and is a complete joy to fly.
Yes indeed I did enjoy it, thanks.
Would love to see an overview of your sailplane!
Hi Peter, you will notice I did an abnormal left hand pattern for 35. We normally do a right hand pattern there at CV. Not as big of a deal now that there are not any more jumpers (meat bombs) on the field. Don't take this pattern as normal - was pretty low and tight. :) Best of luck on your training and I hope to see you out there soon. Bruno
great vid! looks like a lot of fun!
Nothing better than trying to be all cool doing a beat up and then forgetting to drop the gear. Saw another video here youtube of exactly that. :)
this is awesome! Thank you!
Great video. An interesting perspective of the mountains. I kept glancing at the variometer and listening to the tone. It would be interesting to get a sailplane rating but I sure like to have a throttle.
I am using SeeYou Mobile on a Craggy Ultimate display. I love it! Bruno
Best channel on youtube!!!!!.
Pretty cool. Not sure why this channel doesn't have more "publicity" if you will.
Back in the 1930s when the depression was full on, FDR created the Civilian Conservation Corps/CCC for young men who were jobless. It was almost like being in the military. They got monthly pay, most was sent back to their parents or wives and had plenty of food and for many better living conditions .
My dad was in the CCCs in Northern Michigan working out of the Grayling/Roscommon area.
Reforestation and planting trout.

Woops, I meant to say Grayling/ Higgins Lake.
Thanks for the ride
Thanks for the great videos. I have my PPL, but need to get into gliders. Looks like way too much fun.
Very beautiful flight! congratulations!
love this video! :)
