First Glider Flight In 43 Years-Spins And Aerobatics! 😎

During the Ultralight Aircraft Flight Instructor course I got a training session with Henrik Svensson, KSAK Ålleberg. He is educating glider instructors, also in aerobatics. We performed spins and spin recovery and Henrik showed some aerobatic flying.
It was my first time in a glider, since 1980 and after sime struggle with the stick and rudder coordination I felt at home. I started glider flying when I was 15 years old and have around 70 hours, but that was a ling time ago. For sure, I will reactivate my glider licence.
Enjoy the flight!👌🏼😎💙🛩️🌞

I remember the first time I joined a friend of mine during the world championships in Eskilstuna for gliders several years ago. We took it up for a little trip. The 18m wing span model. Went up to 1400m had some issues finding thermals. Dropping to 350m and almost calling it a day. Then, all of a sudden we hit the best thermals you could find. 3,5hrs later the bladder said it’s time. Best gliding experience. Thank you for sharing Björn!

WOW, that was amazing! I had no idea that a glider could do those kind of maneuvers. Thanks for taking us along!

Björn! So inspiring to see your channel. I have loved aircrafts since i was a child but did not persue a pilot carreer due to the cost of flight training. Iam in a much more stable position now but older. During your carreer as a pilot, did you meet people that became airline pilots later in life?

[@bjornpilot]

You can do it! 😊 I‘m flight instructor and I have students of different age.

Jättekul att se dig i en segelkärra, imponerad att se hur snabbt koordinationen kom tillbaka. Lite försiktigt med sidroder i början men det ordnade sig. Välkommen tillbaka till segelflyget =)
