Craziest Glider Low Pass Compilation

submitted by rich_magnet

1 decade 1 year 2 months 1 week ago

Not as loud as the various jet low pass compilations on the sift, but every bit as low. Also at least as ballsy as gliders don't have a motor; they need to maintain their energy to go around and set up for landing.

YT:
"The ultimate low pass compilation, single double or tripple low pass with a glider; ash25 JS1 ASG29 nimbus 4 & 3 asw27 antares 20m..."

=edit= Changed video to a higher-quality version without the annoying Fatboy Slim soundtrack.

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued - promote requested by kulpims.

1) So, why the water?
2) I was less worried about the low passes, and more worried about the high speed turns. Hope the wings don't snap off.
3) What's with the glider in the dirt at 5:08, and the one in a spin at 5:22?

1) Water is ballast. It makes them more efficient when gliding, but they dump it to lighten up for landing.
2) Gliders are tougher than they look. Look into glider aerobatics some time. They also need to have flexible wings as the wings are so long.
3) The one in the dirt is presumably an "out-landing" - one that didn't make it back and needed to land where it could. The spin? (Hopefully) aerobatics.
