More about this video
Watch world champion Luca Bertossio literally draw in the sky, in his MDM Fox Aerobatic Glider, while flying a series of thrilling aerobatic manoeuvres, including loops, rolls, spins, stall turns, chandelles and much more during an airshow display at Athens Flying Week 2014! Being a world champion in aerobatic gliding at the surprisingly young age of 25, Luca takes all the possibilities that powerless flight offers to their absolute utmost, converting kinetic energy into a series of mouth-opening manoeuvres we all love to watch.
Enjoy the whole flight, including the takeoff with the tow plane and the landing.

[@emilyw828]

this is insane ! I am no way near at aerobatic level yet however, the skill and control it would take to do these manoeuvres is ridiculous, I was even blown away by how perfect t the landing was ! this pilot has talent and skill !!

[@PotholesInMyLawn]

Fantastic energy management! Awesome music

[@ukchris64]

Wow that is amazing, I'm surprised the that the glider can take that much stress, not as I know anything about gliders but very peaceful to watch.

[@greatflyer_aviation]

Thanks for watching! You can check out my other videos with Luca.

[@ichbrauchmehrkaffee5785]

Well, this glider in particular was specifically built for aerobatics. There are other gliders that can do multiple things including aerobatics, but there are also gliders, that must not be used for areobatic maneuvers

Najlepsze szybowce akrobacyjne z zakładów. Margański Mysłowski . POLSKA Brawo, Luca Bertossio

[@sopilote56]

Beautiful flying by the glider pilot and really excellent job tracking the glider at varying altitudes with the camera. Tow pilot landed the Maule nose-wheel first - a big no-no.

[@onniborg9065]

sopilote56 :D indeed

[@jandembinski2787]

🤥Excellent like every glider flight

[@crissignori7482]

Alla grande Luca !!! Bravissimo !

[@rogerionovaesbueno]

Information about smoke in the wings. Congratulations!

[@MrJdsenior]

Fantastic...the avalanche, and the vertical basically topped with a near motionless flat spin. I saw a glider demo similar to this at OshKosh EAA one year, but I think this one was even better.

[@grandmothersapplepie]

***** Oh my! This pilot not only knows the wind.. This pilot has become the wind!

[@bepowerification]

the fact he does all of this without any throttle is just phenomenal.

[@FLHDplanespotting]

Stunning show ! Big like !!

[@user-cp4tq5rw6g]

Beautiful! Thank you!

Thank you too!

[@cherbeaumont5391]

Amazing Indeed!!

[@Billyboy4209]

That's badass!!!

[@amelia_glider_pilot16]

These are basic manovres all put in to make it look amazing! for example there a spins, high nose stalls steep turns etc. Beautiful!

[@greatflyer_aviation]

Well said!

[@aleksandarkrajina1955]

Bravo!

[@Niidforseat]

Awesome. And he did that all without an engine :O

[@onniborg9065]

Niidforseat I agree, but actually flying without engine is easier :D

[@lewiswereb8994]

It's easy when you don't have a big gas tank sloshing all over,right?

You are welcome. It is a awesome presentation from Lucca, and really nice video. 👍

[@MultiGrumman]

К вопросу о планерах... Красиво и профессионально!

[@marinrealestatephotography]

Wow!!! Need to pick my jaw up off the floor. Amazing pilot! The plane seemed to handle stalls well. But maybe that was all pilot skill?

[@greatflyer_aviation]

Pure skill, stick and rudder controls. Thanks for watching, check out my other videos featuring Luca!

[@StealthLazarusOfNod]

Can a glider pull off a Pugachev's Cobra maneuver? Just wondering.

[@Mr_Exterminator828]

Nearly every aerobatic glider is produced in Poland Fox,Swift S-1,Allstar SZD-59 etc. Lol

[@SoCalFreelance]

Never seen someone perform a hammerhead with a glider before 0_o

It's bye adiemus

[@LifelongLearnerE]

How he can ascend that much without no engine ? Even after stall he ascend like he has thrust i don't understand

[@lilliegould6236]

Kinetic energy. The energy gained from gravity, when he stalled was enough to regain altitude.

[@faizalr.9412]

Thats the punch of the wing aerodynamics design collaborating with nature

Accept your opinion, however Luca Bertossio is the first Italian to won 7 FAI Gold medals, 7 Silver and 4 Bronze FAI medals for the glider aerobatics discipline, and the titles of Advanced Vice-World Champion 2011 and Advanced World Champion of Glider’s Aerobatics in the 2012 WAGAC competition championship, World Air Games Champion 2015, Vice-World Games Champion 2017 and 2 Times Vice-World Overall Unlimited Champion 2015 and 2018.
