have you seen this one?

Absolutely awesome!! My mommie told me not to watch these movies anymore, it takes too long before i cry myself to sleep!!

[micromalc]

Yeah. I know what you mean. After watching it I was aching to go flying

[luigi_m_]

Now that is proper flying....

Anyone know what aircraft type that is?

[micromalc]

hi,
I think its a RANS S-9. A strange looking single seater but very capable.
Also, I believe the video was shot in Germany, and no its not me flying it.
I fly a Yak52 and a super-cub.

Hi,

Nice video's and your right it makes me want to go flying.

I have a question about the last one from OpenCirrus619 tho, are gliders exempt from the low flying rule as some of that video was very close to the ground?

Spru!

[Shunter]

As far as I'm aware, gliders are only exempt from the 500ft rule when hill-soaring. If that's the case they're behaving like tits. Even if it's not the case, they're still behaving like tits.

[micromalc]

Yeah Great....Although I'm a "power" man, I have to admit that there is very little more beautiful and graceful as a glider doing aero's.

[Insight]

I saw a superb glider display at Duxford last year, part of the display he was being towed whilst doing aeros?! Then he finished off the display on his own.

I was so amazed by the whole thing the only photo I got of it was this one, and no - I didn't turn the image upside down..

Thanks for the initial vid, I am now sitting here at work staring at the sky outside and largely achieveing nothing... :)

Are gliders exempt from the low flying rule?

There is no such thing as a "low flying rule" - the 500' rule requires a separation (vertical or horizontal) from a number of things.

As far as the comment about "behaving like tits" I am not going to bother responding to someone whose interests are "Threesomes".

A friend once took me cloud busting in his Chipmunk (no it wasn't our Chippy Forumite)

Like the first vid it was a perfick day to wheel and soar through cloud canyons. Nice:)

We found one cloud that looked like a mushroom with a clearly defined trunk.
It was great fun poling round it pulling about 2 G under the overhang with the vertical wall of white stuff rushing past our heads.


The we met a Cessna Aerobat coming the other way round:eek:



Not done it again since.

Go to one six right (http://www.onesixright.com/), click on "video", click on "flight".

Awesome, gonna have that at my funeral. You'll need to wait a while though...

I agree, my wife recently bought for me One Six Left "The Romance of Flying" and One Six Left "The companion DVD".
Truly marvelous ( and the films aren't bad)
