Blue Hearts - a film about soaring.

A Beautiful day at Långtora in Sweden filming Swedish gliders Championship 2018. I wanted a slow tempo in this film.
Music from Audionetwork.

Another fabulous demonstration of Jesper’s grasp of cinematic techniques. The subject of soaring is a very challenging one to bring to screen; Jesper’s use of longer focal lengths, and superbly stable pans brings a serenity to the scenes, which personify the art of the sailplane. Bravo!

Great video. Great sport. Started in 1967. Solo'd at 16 in 1968. Still gliding in 2023.

A beautifully edited video. It certainly made me regret not being able to take my gliding to its full potential. I recall flying sailplanes made of wood and fabric, not needing to refer to the airspeed indicator because all I needed to do was to listen to the pitch of the air rushing through the struts and other parts that created lots of drag .I recall my feeling of near panic when I was sent aloft in a Club Libelle for the first time and experienced silent flight and a fear that I would overfly the tow plane. A very slippery experience as we had no dual seat glass machine to practice in and it was like being put into a formula 1 race car for the first time as the controls were very twitchy indeed.
All in all, I had quite a few years of gliding in many types of aircraft and enjoyed it immensely.
When I see a video as good as this one, I am taken back in time and recall the good times I had
flying gliders.
Cheers from Downunder🙂

What a beautiful film about gliding Jesper. I shared it on my Facebook page. When I was around fourteen years old I was lucky enough to fly over Sweden to look at the Vättern lake from a Bergfalke at Ödestugu, near Jönköping. I can still be found in the sky in my native country of the Netherlands.

Hello Jesper, I liked your videos and how to edit it, I really liked this glider video, I would love you to make more videos to your glider style ... I love the radio control plane and its world and the real ones always catch my attention.
Thank you very much for sharing, greetings from Spain. Jesus.

You make me miss Soaring and the the now non-airworthy H-301 Libelle. (Moisture damage). Minden Nevada, and Truckee we're the old play ground. Thanks for the beautiful memories.
