Default Cool Video

Good video. In the U.S. the convention is for the tow plane to peel
off to the left and for the glider to bank right after release so that
the twain shan't meet. I thought that this was a universal
arrangement, but in the video, the glider goes off to the left after
release. Does anyone know where it was filmed ?

I learned to fly in Sweden - there the convention was reversed
(sailplane peels left, towplane right). I think it is like that in all
Europe.
