Well made video - no doubt!
I seem to remember an accident a few years ago during the making of a commercial which involved an auto-tow and a modern two-seat glider. Glad to see that his commercial shoot went over without a glitch.

Yes, it is almost 5 years ago that Lynn Weller died in his DG-1000. Do not want to open old wounds, it is a very sad story. I guess the case is still in courts and General Motors legal machine is running in overdrive.

In my opinion, stunts like this are a disservice to the entire glider community. I have a lot of respect for Klaus Ohlmann, but this makes me think. Likely the entire clip is virtual, like the Antares getting out of the hangar...
