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!!!!
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.
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.
Lol at the Milano ATC. The controller managed to put so many emotions into his comment:-D I bet it must've been an equally exciting day for them as for you.
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❤
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
Glückwunsch, das ist aber eine reife Leistung. Das hätte ich mir als einer, der fast 40 Jahre Kestrel fliegt nicht zugetraut. Weiß man denn, wie stark das Fallen überm Meer ist oder war das ein Experiment?

I don't think I've ever seen better views from a plane.
😮wow nice . Always happy landings from Aeroclub bexbach EDRX
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.
Congratulations to your amazing glider-flight to Corsica while surpassing 1000km in total. Cheerio

Just saw my old house in Pietracorbara from your glider 😮
What a trip! Thanks for sharing this amazing adventure ❤

Brilliant!

Absolutely crazy! As a former glider pilot myself this is unfathomable.
Awesome
Going over such a long stretch of sea in a glider is really impressive!
You moved me. My dad was a glider pilot. On long flights looking for thermals. And doing aerobatics too. Thanks.
So ein unglaublicher Flug. Herzliche Gratulation.
As a paraglider pilot myself, I can only say WOW!! AMAZING!! Well done!!

As a paraglider I have to say, kudos for this incredible achievement.

Impressive !

DG800 has finesse 50, in fact 51.5 with winglets.
Wow, what an awesome flight!!! First saw it on OLC, thanks for sharing the flight here!
Bellissimo volo ...anche io volo ogni tanto come passeggero e un pò piloto ma programmare un volo così lungo non deve essere stato facile !
Congrats Yves! Such a stunning achievement your flight! keep pushing! Greetings from Brazil.
Greetings from Vevey , nice project

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 ;)
