- Flying with a glider Duo Discus FES along the coast of Croatia, Bosnia and Montenegro in incredible weather conditions. The flight was more that 1100km long and we were flying in temperatures between -20°C and +30°C.
We completed a first 1000 kilometer out and return flight from Slovenia.

Svaka čast! Bravo! 😎
Hvala!
I recall visiting family in Slovenia back in the 90’s and we were in Tolmin and I was asked if I wanted to go in a glider. I said no but watching this video I should have said yes! Well done on the flight 👍
Thank you! Slovenia is a great place for gliding. Now you know what to do next time you come here😉
Bernard and Luka, thank you for this wonderful video and giving us some impressions of this outstanding day.
I hope I can manage to fly there too, the waves seem to be extraordinary 😃👍
Thank you! You are always welcome to come!😃
A very great flight with great pictures. Thank you for the nice video. Feels like beeing with you in the glider.
Thank you!
Čestitam, čudovito!
Hvala!
Fenomenalno. Jedva cekam da mogu ovo raditi. Taman zavrsajem teoriju za SPL
Super!
Amazing! Well done Bernard and Luka.
Thank you!
Bernard, Luka ! Čestitam vama za dosežek ! Hvaležen , da lahko uživam ob vaših čudovitih in zanimivih posnetkih !
Najlepša hvala!
im in love with this
Thanks!
nice flight, great views!
Thank you!
mega flight. Was it easy to get clearances from ATC ?
Thanks! Yes, it was quite easy to get the clearances. However we have filed a flight plan and call the ATC before flight to let them know about our intentions.
The only clearance that we weren't able to get was a clearance for Albania.
What an awesome video and nice flight! Well done Bernard and Luka! Would a flight-plan have allowed you to go further? Did you ever consider connecting this wave system with thermals or wave in Nötsch?
Again, Congratulations!
Thank you Yves! With flight plan we would most likely be able to go another 100km further.
We are planning to extend the flight to alps next time. I think that there is a lot of possibilities also for big triangles, by extanding the flight to Maribor and to Brunico...
Freaking Awesome
Do you carry extra batteries or how did they last so long with all the electronic instruments and the FES?
We only had standard FES batteries, it's more than enough for a flight like this...
Where can we find the Tracklog?

What an incredible soaring flight...! Hope you've been able to make a longer one with such great clouds especially the Lenticular's! I live in the Sierra Nevada mountains in USA, we have beautiful Lennies also. I'm a old glider pilot now enjoying the flights of super glider pilots in other countries, I was a teenager back in the 1950's learning to fly gliders. Flew a lot of ships over a long period of time, motor glider too, one one built in the late 1950's called the Hummingbird 2 place self launch motorglider, way before any other motorgliders were built... Now they are so beautiful with such long wings!
You all are very fortunate to have such wonderful soaring conditions. Happy soaring. Thanks for posting, very well done.
Thank you sir! In Sierra Nevada you have some great conditions for flying as well!
Uh, Bernard... I'm a female........ smile also a former tow pilot too. @@bernarddobre
I'm really sorry for this mistake... It's great to see that there are also female pilots in aviation comunity!
Noro!
