bit low during his final glide.

LINK seems to be busted...

Matt,

It works here in Idaho. I checked when it was first posted and then again after your post. In both cases the link took me directly to the video.

Worked fine for me...

I couldn't connect to the link direclty. However, when I highlighted
it, and then copied and pasted it, I got through OK. The pilot had
nerves of steel.

Cheers, Charles

was that corn or wheat effect that he dove into towards the end? and
i wonder how close he really was to those power lines at the 2:30
mark. pretty neat video!

This guy is an idiot.

It's far from showing an example. He is cutting it way too close to
the trees toward the end of the video, as well as only 50 feet
perhaps, above a power line like Tony mentions.

I would be ****ed if I saw anyone doing that at my local airport!....:-

Agreed. He's an idiot! He should be embarassed to post such a
video. Our club rule (advice) is that at 1000 agl you're in a
"circuit," or a "pattern" for the chosen field. Didn't he consider
the other gliders in the normal circuit? What if there was a student
pilot on solo concentrating on making his first landing while this
joker was sneaking in just over the fence?
