I'm so happy to see a new video from Capt. Flemming. Always breathtaking. Soaring is a technical art - a mixture of science and passion. After a long week flying for a living, it's always nice to get back to why we got into aviation in the first place. I'm fortunate to have a house in France at the base of some of the best ridge riding in Europe and only a few KM's from the French National Gliding Center. Many Thanks to Fayence Soaring. You've made my day.

Wow, thank you for your very kind words!

@siamakaghazeinali Год назад

There is a very good feeling in your work. The feeling of being an eagle on top of a mountain! Full of peace and love.

@nicholasgoodyear7552 Год назад

Best gliding videos ever. Love the music the camera work the inset maps and vario sounds. They make the heart soar. Please keep them coming

@jacekpiterow900 Год назад

Never-ending sea of mountains. Like a storm frozen in time.... majestic. Thanks.

"like a storm frozen in time" - brilliant !

@davidbowes5915 Год назад

Great video, I showed a previous one of yours to a non aviator and he was hooked. Thanks for uploading these and the technical tips.

@Skyforger62 Год назад

Thanks for “unloading” another beautiful video!! I appreciate the dialogue and superb production quality👍🏻

@christophwieland9526 Год назад

Thanks again for this great video and for contributing to make the sport more safe and seen!

@Simon-ry1lw Год назад

These videos are superb, the flying, scenery, the majesty of the mountains !

@GuillaumeCara Год назад

Your video is great as usual. You shows that soaring isn't just flying but also understand and exploit the environment.

@simonnomis5302 Год назад

oh man...here in Greece while we were gliding for 50 years now everything stopped by the authorities by no apparent reason....great stuff...soaring is the best flying.

And i thought only Germany is trying to destroy the General Aviation !😜

@user-tn1vc1xz5d Год назад

Your videos are sublime. I had a few trial student flights back in uni, no thermals, just short hops. Your videos are so inspiring and thanks for sharing the experiences with us.

@kimcarson2645 Год назад

As always Christopher, beautiful video and breathtaking views. I would look forward to a future feature length IMAX film . . . I can see the WOW expressions already . .. ! Kudos to Scott Buckley for the excellent sound track also . . . Definitely a winning artistic combination . . !

@hj45lp Год назад

Your videos are just so stunningly beautiful. Can't wait for the glider season to begin here in Lapland, still 2.5-3 months to go... 👍😎

@unclemuir Год назад

Beautiful footage. You made that cross country look easy. Thanks from California.

@ericgross3509 Год назад

Fabulous as usual, thanks

@TheSoaringChannel Год назад

Absolutely stunning video. I did catch the unloading!! I have always taught "when you find yourself running out of aileron: PUSH!"

@susannedohmann797 Год назад

`Give me more ailerons ` ( Schleicher K8 - Pilot with thick legs .) 🙃🥵😱😄

@TheSoaringChannel Год назад

@@susannedohmann797 funny thing is that I would demonstrate aileron authority via pitch to my student by blocking the ailerons with my legs 😂

@superfunky1973 Год назад

Magnifique 💪 merci, merci beaucoup pour votre vidéo incroyable ! Et surtout vos recommandations de vol !

@jean-pierrebegin7559 Год назад

Encore une fois, quelle belle leçon de vol!

@grmpflying Год назад

Nice video, as usual! I would say you undloaded definitely a 7:37.

@peterfynn Год назад

at 6:28, 7:36 and 7:52 ?? Fascinating. Once again, a beautiful video. Thank you.

@lautoka63 Год назад

Nice work, thanks. I wish I'd known that there is gliding at Fayence; I used to ride through there on my way up to Mons in the hills beyond (I was younger and fitter).

@nathaliesias5433 Год назад

Quel bonheur de voler avec vous MERCI 🙏

@bertraminc9412 9 месяцев назад

Very nice. If only the 765 could do that! 😉

@arsantonius1810 Год назад

Merci toujours magnifique Actuellement élève à Fayence , ça donne envie de bientôt pouvoir aller vers ces sommets lointains ! 😅

@GC987 Год назад

Another wonderful video with great explanation. It looks like the (360 degree ?) camera is mounted perpendicular whereas (I think ???) I believe if it's mounted facing a random angle (e.g. 32 degrees or 108 degrees etc etc.) the stitching line in the film isn't straight ahead (it's then to the side somewhere) & since a lot of footage is presented nose on, the stitch line would then be more in the peripheral vision. In post production, it's then possible to orientate the shot ahead (or wherever) without the sticking line directly ahead (and a little distracting from the wonderful scenery). I really love if when you also show the LX & where you are soaring..... it's so difficult to appreciate the task from an armchair. Well done. Brilliant video - looked like a great flight on a nice day.

@alainescartincortillas9469 Год назад

Magnifique et merci pour la leçon. J'ai cru voir les trois décharge vers : 5'40; 6'30 et 7'30

@MFPrice2222 Год назад

Hope to be you when I grow up! But until then... 😂

@fotogeorgy Год назад

You seem to have unloaded at around 0:19, 5:42, and 7:36, right? Thank you for the great video and the food for thought.

@lfugoni1 Год назад

TY for your video! What model of camera do you use, please?

@FayenceSoaring 11 месяцев назад

I film with a GoPro MAX.

@dutchr4zor Год назад

Great video! What kind of camera do you use? It seems like a 360 camera mounted with the lenses pointing let and right?

@FayenceSoaring Год назад

Exactly. I film with a GoPro MAX in 360, and edit to 1080p.

@nixl3518 Год назад

You mean “safer“!! Even as I love what you do, there is no aspect to this sport, that constitutes the definition of “safe“!

@FayenceSoaring Год назад

With knowledge, training, and experience, yes, even flying a glider in the Alps can be completely safe. However, the sport is very unforgiving for those who attempt it without knowledge, training, or experience.

@jacekpiterow900 Год назад

Landing out in this environment will be no fun. When flying those mountains do you have way out in case wind or wreathes change quickly?

@FayenceSoaring Год назад

I always have a way out, including a safe place to land. In this video, when I have the computer animation displayed, you can see that I'm just a few kilometers away from an airport: Solliers.

@erwinklementin5014 Год назад

the aircraft is turned upside down and thus the wings are relieved!

@josephinebennington7247 8 месяцев назад

Ahead of you, and around you, at all the times, the alps are ahead. That’s obvious. It looks like an ocean of waves. I’m assuming if you could see the air that too would look like a random mess of movement. You’re looking for lift, and avoiding sink. Is there actually a steadier consistent flow of air to assist you than my presumption says?

@FayenceSoaring 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for your inquisitive comment! Yes, if you could see the air it would also appear random and chaotic, but there are natural rules that it must obey, and learning those rules is what makes gliding in the mountains so rewarding.

@npelchat44 Год назад

Super vidéo. Je vois un unloading à 7:36

@christianmeynard4952 Год назад

Bravo !

@myair737 Год назад

Great video again! And tricky way to create more views :D My guess: 5:40, 6:15, 7:35.

@skavalic Год назад

Amazing video. My also. The most obvious at 7:35. Also hearing the change in flaps after the unloading and roll correction. Next time with camera at the shoulders position please. Br S.

@LuckyLAK17 11 месяцев назад

Min 7:35. Could spot only this one

@pastaga5020 Год назад

Après un tel vol, ca doit être difficile de revenir en bas sur terre au milieu des voitures et de la surpopulation!

@christianmeynard4952 Год назад

Il ne faut rien exagérer. Les clubs de vol à voile sont constitués d'une petite bande de copains. Il faut bien aussi disposer de bagnoles aptes à tirer les remorques parfois nécessaires ! Le retour sur Terre est toujours convivial, chacun échangeant sur la journée qu'ils viennent de vivre ou d'autres.

@MegaspeedMilly Год назад

Nice video but what a clickbait title 😐

@andremetayer1467 Год назад

What did you expect ? I'm quite sure that this title is a result from an automatique translation. The quality of english subtitles, telling us how a glider react in mountain is enough to prove the sincerity of Christopher.
