Fantastic flight over the high Austrian Alps, a blue day as no clouds about and inversion at 10,000 ft. I did one too many turns on my landing approach and got a bit low.

    • I've had dreams that were perfect if not for high tension lines. And after the wires a shack suddenly leaps into the way.

  • Whew! I felt myself tense up as you were about to cross over the power line. Nice landing, you squeaked it in but pulled it off. Great to see Weissensee, have spent some time there, also up at the Greifenburg launch, a wonderful part of the Alps. Super flight, thanks for sharing the "tour".

    • Yes it was close but I kept thinking I could turn straight into the landing field and then land on the wheels. I’ll make a better landing approach next year.

  • Nice video, Steve. And you wove a story in it, which made it all the more watchable. And great flight, I almost forgot to mention!

  • That little hut seems to be a magnet (some people got hurt already). To me it looks like you could have cut the corner downwind to base and turned maybe before the hut. Anyway, great safe in the end.

  • Hi Steve, I saw your approach from the other side of the landing field. Pretty close, but why? Be aware that farmers with huge tractors use to drive fast on the small road, and they don't look at all to see if a glider is approaching from above. :( Combined with a bad approach, this can cause real trouble... When I asked the locals, I was told that the sign on the building is completely useless and has no meaning. Stay high 👍
