Hang-gliding Fiesch Switzerland: the most beautiful flight in 2023 becomes the saddest day.

In mid-August, the weather was looking great. That's why we went to Fiesch for three days on August 19. Everything was perfect, many pilots were on the Fiescheralp. But on the very first day, the unbelievable happened...

Thank you

[@damcopter]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful flight. I am sorry for your loss. I have lost some friends too. They never came back from their flight. It's always very hard to decide to fly again but we are sure our friends would tell us to continue enjoying those very unique moments where we are alone, over the mountains, looking at this mad World underneath...
It's almost spiritual.
Fly safe

Hi, Marty. You must take care when you go back. Your flight is too wonderful, your landing needs you return to training school. I jog a little (:)))

Man I always watch your flights and think. Where's that landing option😮, just everything is big.... :) Nice vid sorry about your mate.

Oh, wow. What amazing scenery and flight. One day I want to fly there and hopefully have such good flights as you’re having. I’m sorry to hear of the fatal accident…life sure is short and while we love doing what we’re doing, we are definitely teasing our demise with every attempt.

[@whynotindeed1431]

beautiful video. can you share what was the reason of Thomas's accident?

[@fuelbasti]

Never saw a glider with airbrakes. Wow.

[@nikosmoraitis6145]

😢😢😢😢

[@markosabljak7134]

Sorry for your friend. Do you have any details how accident occur? Any witness? Some pilot mistake? So that other pilots can learn a lesson.

[@mark_van_wyk]

What kinds of altitudes are you guys hitting up there?

[@tonymarty4500]

On weekends we fly up to a maximum of 4550 m. On weekdays, unfortunately, we only fly up to 3950 m. The Swiss army claims the airspace above that for itself!
