Default A well-done Glider video

This was posted on the Condor flight sim forums. I thought it was a
rather well-done gliding video.

It is a compilation of a Swiss pilot's best video from the 2009
soaring season. Amazing landscape. Click the HD button and watch it
full screen if your computer can handle it. I'm not usually a big fan
of music being used instead of the natural sounds of flight, but this
one worked for me.

The production quality is quite high.

I really liked the effect of the reflection of the landscape on the
side of the glider in many of the sequences.

The pilot posts that this was done with a hand-held camera (Panasonic
FX-35) held outside the canopy. The video was image-stabilized and
zoomed in during post-production. He doesn't report what make of
glider and I'm not experienced enough to identify it.
