Wow! A few days ago I came across a wave flight along Adriatic coast from Slovenia almost to Albania and back, also 1000km and now this! Such a distance over the sea in the glider. It requires a great knowledge, confidence and a great set of balls. Congrats!
Wow this is absolutely insane. Would you mind making an explaination video about the weather forecasting you did and the size of these waves and how large they get? I'm a paragliding pilot but can't really wrap my head around this phenomena and how you predicted it. Thanks for sharing this!
Holy cow!!! Well done Yves! What an achievement! You have just become my hero. As a glider pilot this would be my dream flight. On behalf of all glider pilots - a special thank you to the Italian authorities for being so accommodating.
I have flown in gliders in the UK but never thought that this was possible. I have lived and worked in Switzerland and travelled all over Europe and the terrain of the alps is truly inspiring but to fly over them in an unpowered plane is incredible. Well done!!!!
Congratulations Yves! Great flight. Just a few years ago I would never have thought of the possibility of flights like these. I like the wave and fly from Turin and Aosta, but never such complicated flights. The road opened by Claus and Batpiste and you will hold many surprises for us.
Beautiful views, thanks for sharing. I flew (as a passenger) from London to Calvi in July 23 and the flight path was diverted over Germany, Switzerland and Italy and the approach to Corsica was very similar.
Nice long flight :-) A modern glider with a high glide ration like 1:50 can travel really far away, like 200 kilometer from 4.000 meter. But it just need a small engine, and like 50-100 liter of fuel
Oh man.. so much eye candy.. the buzz of getting cleared to FL240 would knock me unconscious before ever getting low on O2. An extended cut with 2x or 4x speed please❤

I'd appreciate a video on how you deal with controlled airspace in your glider!
Good question. Check out at 7:15 where he describes his conversations with Marseille and Italian air controllers.
I don't think I've ever seen better views from a plane.
Congratulations to your amazing glider-flight to Corsica while surpassing 1000km in total. Cheerio

You passed almost over my head in the northern appenninis on the way back, if I knew it I'd try to take a picture from the ground
Epic Adventure! Congratulations, Yves. 👏👏👏
I am pretty happy when I fly 100km on paraglider, the scale difference is impressive! Really want to try sailplane
Amazing flight!
What an awesome flight and video. Hope I´ll get to fly someday too :D
Greetings from Vevey , nice project
wowwwwwwww dayum
Oh man.. so much eye candy.. the buzz of getting cleared to FL240 would knock me unconscious before ever getting low on O2. An extended cut with 2x or 4x speed please❤
How did you handle all the class A airspace and restricted areas in that section of the alps?
Don't know much about gliders but great achivement!
Congrats! Great water chellange.
Congrats Yves! Such a stunning achievement your flight! keep pushing! Greetings from Brazil.
Very Nice. I will try to recreate your flight on the MSFS 2020 Flightsimulator (using a Discus 2c FES). Thanks for Sharing
Wow, very impressive!
Hi, 10/10 and amazing views!
If you are looking for other fun places to visit, Bezmiechowa, Poland is a must visit for glider fans ;)
Thank Yves, stunning views and great commentary.
