- Filmed vintage gliders at Ålleberg for three days during summer 2019. This is a historic important soaringcenter in Sweden. Inspired by the germans this was the place to fly gliders.
I want to thank all people i meet at Ålleberg for your passion flying and restoring vintage gliders from the 30-40s. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี

Did a 300 km diamond goal out and return in a K6cr using thermals all the way. Great to fly this wooden glider.
Wonderful video! I soloed in 1974 in a Ka13 and share your opinion about the vintage gliders. Keep them flying! They have more sole than today’s fiberglass gliders, which all look alike.
In 1946, a year before I was born, my Dad was employed to redesign the Meise to suit British aerobatic requirements. Essentially the same silhouette, but beefed up for strength adding about 30kg. It was the Chilton Olympia which became the EoN Olympia
Started gliding in 1967. Solo'd in 1968 at 16. Still gliding in 2023. Great sport. FAI/BGA 51417.
Warms an old glider pilots heart. Learned on 1950s/60s planes in the 1980s. Even back then classic planes were in my heart although I was young and everyone around me wanted fiberglass planes.
Thanks for this interesting film full of old memories!
Thank you🙂❤️
This should be in a theater, not on youtube - this is art..
Thank you very much!😊
9:33 - I loved flying our Ka-6CR when I was like 19 - I once spent almost 6 hours non-stop thermalling above Värmland in Sweden... only nature's call brought me down. A lovely video, thank you!
A beautiful presentation. Thank You!
The elegance of gliding
Gentle filming easy on the ears and beautiful memories of Sweden Thank you
Magic bit of filming. Loved the camaraderie and appreciation for the past. Brought me back to happy days in the Dublin Gliding Club in the the eighties. Loved those old gliders Ka 7 K8 K13. Really miss old friends that are gone. Especially miss my friend Brian Douglas RIP. Think of him all the time . . . P
Alll the best to you.
Thank you so much for a very excellent video of encouragement for all younger pilots. Regards

What a wonderful video with well narrated introduction to vintage gliders (BRG to Ingvar Hyllander/ Ystad from whom I purchased my Mucha 22C Standard)
Thank you!😊
This is a wonderful video that is pure joy to watch. Well done and thank you!
Thank you😊
Beautifully constructed, beautifully filmed. Best gliding video on TH-cam - many thanks.
Thank you so much!😊
Wonderful film, top quality photography and production. 👍🇦🇺
really nice Video and wonderful Planes...
What a great film. Really good to see vintage gliding alive and well out in Europe as well as at home. Maybe we'll get to meet some day.

Excellent. Thank you 😊
Szybownictwo to najpiękniejszy sport jaki ludzie wymyślili.Szkoda,że jest teraz mało w Polsce popularny,głównie z powodu wysokich kosztów jego uprawiania.
I always wanted to fly a sailplane. Thanks for the video. They have a beautiful place to fly.
Underbara bilder som erinrar om en fantastisk tid i en Bergfalke på Ålleberg 1959.
Thank you for keeping Vintage Sailplanes alive and flying. Soaring is a very special spiritual journey. You learn much about yourself.
Beautiful film! Art!
Thank you sir🙂✈️
Beautifully done. I have a feeling that gliders are more popular in Europe than in US. Anyone else?
I believe that has something to do with the outcome of the First World War and the Second World War. Probably due to the restrictions regarding the versailler contract.
@@henrih3080 Makes sense.
Agreed - I think it is because more Americans just want to turn up, fly and go whereas gliding requires people to prepare, support and put away at the end of the day as well as fly.
@@richardmasters8424 You may have a point there. It's business too though. I was well on my way to a PP license at one point in life and have had the desire bubble to the surface multiple other times, and during all of that along with accompanying voracious reading I don't recall any real marketing efforts for anything but power flying.
Another factor could be that Europe is known for good mass ground transit. So they can get around much easier than we mere Americans can. Thus the compelling need for multiple personal transportation methods. We have to get places and individual powered flying is one such option. Gliders not so much.
Beautiful film! Reminds me of my time in the club at Farnborough where most of my dual time was on Ka-7 and ASK-13 and the single seater I most enjoyed flying was the Ka-8. Club members also had a Grunau Baby and a Skylark.
This is nearly a perfect mini documentary film. As a somewhat new soaring pilot I drooled through most of this video. Such amazing vintage gliders. Thank goodness for this clan of dedicated pilots to preserve these classic and important bits of aeronautical history. And the fact that you can still flying in an 80 yr. old
Sailplane - WOW! I hope to come visit soon (retiring in 2 yrs.). This would be a dream to fly here in such classic vintage ship! Thanks for keeping soaring alive and healthy.
Thank you and I hope you can visit Ålleberg🙂🥰
Wow! Excellent! I loved this. Very well done! Your new fan from Minnesota, USA.
Thank you so much!😊
Jesper... wonderful cinematic coverage of the rural flying club! Beautifully mingled imagery and audio. I spent several days flying with the Boulder Soaring Society, (Colorado) riding in their tow plane to shoot stills of member sailplanes... very challenging air to air subjects, but worth the effort.
Agree. Best gliding video I have seen so far. Such a beautiful place, and two EoN Olympias nontheless. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! So intimate. So solitary. So peaceful. So friendly to Earth. So environmentally responsible ☯️♒️
Wow! What a wonderful film. I so hope that I will have a chance to meet you all again this summer. This film brings back so many nice memories from last summer.
Fantastic video!
Thank you👍🙂
What a great video. Brought back all sorts of memories. I did my first 5 hour flight in an Olympia 2B and my first field landing in a K6CR.
Thank you🙂👍
Your videos are always amazing to watch, they are beautiful !
Thank you!😊
An absolute pleasure to watch and listen to
Thank you👍
I do not want too look in my phone for this video, I will save it to my 55" new Samsung TV, this evening. I will go back and enjoy a lot of the old videos too. THANKS!
Thank you Dan!😊
@@JRVAviationVideos I saw it, beutiful sailers, good people, fantastic views. And a very excellent video. From now, only 55"!
Excellent video to help people to see where gliding came from.
Thank you🙂
Awesome nice, greetings from Remi from Belgium
Thank you😊
What a lovely well made film thank you. How anyone can give it a thumbs down is mind-boggling - must be trolls! Was 375 thumbs up, now 376...
Thank you😊
Awesome on all levels.❤️
Gliders are the purest way of flying a fixed wing aircraft.
Thank you and i agree😊
YES - very well captured moments by the person holding the camera!
I don't like flying but love to see gliders in the air. I am doing some model airpalne free flight and thermals are a given subject for trying to understand. Where I live in Borås there is a more or less permanent thermal position just above my house. In the autam large numbers of cranes "stop" here to gain height in this frequent thermal.
The gliders presented here in this film are a testimate to the Beauty and quality build that one doesn't see anymore ..
7:50 - Best å ha lange strømper på seg, ja .... kan bli litt trekkfullt der oppe :-)
Takk for en fantastisk film !
Herlige fly & et vakkert landskap (vi er heldige slik, her i Norden :-)
Hilsen en norsk snekker som bare har bygget & fløyet modell-seilfly.
My favorite video you've done so far! Loved the commentary and story along with the absolutely outstanding and beautiful footage. Also loved the duration. Please more of this...20 min videos with pilot interviews and history! The ride was amazing as well...loved the way you stopped the music and just let the wind do the talking. As close as we'll get to being a bird that is. You are one of the best at what you do.
Thank you so much for your comment! Warms my heart.
reminds me at the sg38 flying on the wasserkuppe. Beautiful
Very beautiful! Nice job :)
Thank you😊
Just caught this video.....Hope to visit your glider port very soon!
East coast...USA
Welcome🙂
Helt glimrande produktion igen Jesper, man blir sugen att ta tillbaka segelcertet igen :-)
Tusen tack Tommy❤
This is wonderful.
What a magical place and life.
This is FANTASTIC!!!!!
Thank you sir😊
Beautiful. I’m in!!
Snygg film, förmedlar den speciella känslan med segelflyg!
Håller med om att det finns en speciell kvalitet hos dom här gamla flygplanen. Brukar själv flyga ka6cr på Stödefältet i Sundsvall, det är ett roligt plan att flyga och suveränt i svag termik.
Tack Erik! Fantastiskt ställe också😊
Love this one Jesper!
Thank you!👍😊
Snyggt, intressant och bra hantverk
Wish these vintage gliders were still being made==new stuff is too fast and less relaxed.
I dialled a Swedish gliding friends name of many years ago, Bengt Micrander, and the gliding site at Alleberg with this wonderful video came up. I thoroughly enjoyed going back in time when I flew in a Bergfalke at Orebro. Does anyone know of Bengt from the past?
Well done!
Thank you😊
Wonderful, Jesper. Compliments.
Thanks my friend! Hope to see you again 😊
Это здорово❤️
A replica of the ORLIK OLIMPIJSKI glider is being built
th-cam.com/video/bNgljvr3jbI/w-d-xo.html
being built by Jerzy Gruchalski (Poland AD 2023). The construction was invented by a Pole Antoni Kocjan shortly before World War II. Orlik was a better design than Olimpia DFS was not selected for the Olympics, because the commission was German ... unfavorable to Poles. Kocjan was in the Home Army (AK) resistance organization during the war, he provided the Allies with information, among others, on V2 rockets. The Germans murdered Kocjan in 1944 in Warsaw at Pawiak. Thank you for this great video about Swedish glider flying.. really impressive.
I live in Falköping lol Next to Ålleberg
Asking below about Bengt Micrander I still glide st Portmoak in Scotland after
Many years. If anyone has knowledge of Bengt I would be pleased to hear from them. new2018@interbild.com. Many thanks.
@@thomasdocherty2890 Sorry to say, Bengt, a real nice character is gone since several years ago.
👍 👍 👍
Jeg kan genkender følelsen af at svæveflyve fra 1970 hvor jeg selv fløj hos KFUM spejderne i Danmark
Ännu ett Mästerverk av Jesper !!
Tack Marco!😊
Gliding don't need to be in the stinking olympics .
