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. "Matt Herron Jr." wrote in message ...

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 |

Stretching the Final Glide
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!....:- ( Richard Phoenix, AZ |

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? |
