This video is commonly known in the gliding community as UK Smokin. If you want to be impressed as to what gliders can do search on this site for "You'll dream of Sails" it is a Swift performing an unlimited class aerobatic routine.

Did you know that a Ask-21 Schleicher can pull up to -3/ 7 G's?? Lots of fun dudes :-))


The swift (which is an aerobatics glider) can pull up 9/-6. Ouch !!!

The water is used as a ballast to increase glide performance at higher speeds. this is better for overland flights. Before you land, you have to dump this ballast and mostly they combine it with a nice low pass.

nice vid and camera positions

the max speed of these gliders is between 250km/h and 280km/h. yes and the stuff that comes out of these planes is water...

Great video. I wonder what is the top speed for these things. Looks very exciting.

Nice vid!!! awsome low-level action with those gliders. By the way, what is that stuff coming out of some of those gliders, it looks like water?
