Tak jako příznivce létání mne tohle video potěšilo, akorát se musím přiznat, že až na konci z komunikace plota s věží, kde mne udivilo ohlášení "Olomouc rádio", jsem pochopil, že se létá nad Olomoucí. Njedřív jsem chvíli přemýšlel, co to je za nesmysl, vždyť přeci hláskovací abeceda má pro O a R jiná slova (nyť s námořními papíry znám spíš abecedu anglickou) a kromě toho letadlo bude mít patrně značku OK a nikoli OR. Totálně mne předtím zmátla zmínka pilota o směru na Poděbrady. Měl jsem zato, že let probíhá někde v Čechách a Poděbrady jsou tamní město ... Až na konci mi podle komunikace došlo, že se jedná o Olomouc a jako rodilý Olomoučák, který ale už 35 let žije u Jihlavy, jsem Olomouc ze vzduchu zprvu nepoznal. Ona se taky Olomouc za ty desítky let hodně změnila. Za mne Olomouc směrem na Brno končila kousek za Hotelovým domem, na místě dnešní nesmyslně řešené křižovatky u příjezdu od Brna stála ještě lidová hvězdárna (také jsem tam chodil) a kousek od ní před Hněvotínem bylo travnaté letiště, kam jsme coby letečtí modeláři chodili létat s R/C modely. Takže video si pouštím znovu a jdu se znovu podívat na místa, která jsem jako kluk kdysi znal a teď nepoznal, byť jsem nad Olomoucí párkrát byl, když mne Vraťa (také bývalý modelář) vzal do luftu při mé návštěvě Olomouce.

As always You want soar up to clouds and the girl tell You something else and You do as you have been told .

Jak muj pritel rika , nejlip to lita kdyz se na to nesaha .

I had a share in a Blanik at Sutton Bank in the UK. Some of my happiest memories. Soaring😊, instructing, and flying the Super Cub and the Pawner. We had it all: ridge soaring, wave and thermals. That was more than forty years ago. Good to see that the Blanik is still flying. Thank you for sharing.

When I was 15 I got my fist flight training in the Blanik, finest glider. After 10 hours I continued on motor planes, on the Z226T and then on the Z526. I had a fantastic youth. Everybody should join the Czech for flying !

Alas, you are talking as if you have gone to a funeral.

So, in another 2 to 3 years there will be two people in the world flying glider aerobatics or is spin training standard for gliders in Europe?

Maravilhoso 👏👏👏

What is this town name?

I taught glider flight instruction when I was 20 (1975), flying out of Crystalaire Airport in the high desert north of Los Angeles. There was a Blanik L-13 at the gliderport and somehow I was allowed to use it for recreational flights. I thought it was pretty cool, with a retractable landing gear, fowler flaps, a very low thermalling speed (28kts?) and that beautiful aluminum skin. The L-13 was always said to have poor penetration if you needed to get home in a hurry, but it was a lot of fun when the lift was strong. One nice feature was that the main gear didn't completely retract, so if you landed gear-up, it didn't damage the aircraft. Don't ask me how I know that...

Ahoj kamaráde, gratuluji k zahájení nové sezony. Velice pěkný polet, ta tomto letišti jsem nikdy nebyl, ale díky MSFS mám už stovku vzletů a přistání. To letadlo po odpojení lana se otočilo a efektně kleslo jak WW2 stihačka :-) Tentokrát mi přišlo, že tě vytáhli do větší výšky, ale možná je to jen pocit. Škoda, že ten Blaník není v žádném simulátoru. Docela čumím, jak to proudění vzduchu kolem trupu může dělat takový ramus uvnitř. Přistání bylo z mého pohledu perfektní. At se daří a opatruj se. S!

Thank YOU for flying&video

pěkný přistání 😎

Very smooth landing Martin, good job 😉

Gut gemacht

Wow, good job Herr Oberleutnant, I envy you and the towing pilot seems to have had fun too! 😀 But I'm really disappointed that you don't fly without canopy for a better WW1 feeling 😛

Nice vid! :)

As a point of interest, it has always been my belief that the stall comes before the spin--every time.

I miss the Czech Republic! The people are awesome and the food was awesome as well

Это не кабина Бланика.

BE YOUR COACH? WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT LOCATION? I URGENTLY BECOME A GLIDER PILOT....THANKS

Am I see this correctly? You pulled the release and the tow line disconnected from the tug?!

Former US Navy jet pilot and flight instructor here. We did stalls and spins in every type of single engine prop and jet I flew 1967-1971, including "under the bag" instrument flying only. It seems odd to do spin recovery before stall recovery, since the A/C must stall before it can spin. The object is to prevent the spin by recovering from the stall first. Only if the stall is prolonged and asymmetric would it spin, then need the spin recovery. As I said, we recovered from spins even in instrument flying, even in jets. Navy pilots have always been the best! Landing on carriers required more skill and confidence than any other type of maneuvers. I also flew soaring A/C-gliders, the purist form of flying!

Congrats, you never forget your solo, cheers

Very nice. I leave at my Radio Controlled plane :-)

I can see why this sport has so many obsessed players! After the clunky tow, pure exhilaration.

I have flown a Blanik both as a student as an instructor. There were some accidents in Switzerland after doing spins with this plane.

Thank you so much for this video. I have flown fixed wing and helicopters but never a glider. I can't tell you how awesome this was for me. It felt as though I was there right behind you. Just loved it. Thank you and thank your Instructor. WOW

Amazing fly

Just a stupid comment but if I remember correctly you need to be in a stall to enter a spin, or have things changed?

09 ? runway is 10 R ! Caption is off, Seriously, it is imperative to call the correct magnetic runway heading , in this case heading is 100° , so it's runway one-zero right!

front seater: you keep on skidding to the left, correct with left rudder to center the yaw string. And instructor : make a full turn spin, to gauge your recovery heading lead, very important in acrobatics, where precision counts.

Front seater: keep the tow plane on the mean hotrizon, on a turn head the nose on the outer wing tip. Tow pilot head under the cummuli, there is obviously a clowd street , make use of it, reduces tow time.

retire your belly : eat veggies, soup and do 20 pushups daily!

Nice

Blanik finest glider ! The Z526, tow plane, even more. I had a fantastic youth !

nice flight and butter landing ->👍<-

Nice landing!

Great video! I had some lessons in 1973 and have been up in a glider only a few times since. This was at Rufforth near York (UK) and they had a Blanik then. I think I'll get myself a flight for my 70th birthday this year!

@J18Flyer I just want to know why the towplane released the rope too?🤔 And the rope fall from sky to whos head? 🤔

Flown Blaniks at Nympsfield too. 1976-1977. Started on T21,T49 and T45 at Meir Aerodrome Staffordshire in 1967. Happy days! Still flying and gliding. John FAI/BGA 51417. Old Timer!

The camera on his head is a nice perspective as it shows where he is looking.

The pilot raises his head during the stall and we can not see him pushing the stick forward.It would have been interesting to see that part of it.

Nádherný technický souboj, Salute! 😎

That was awesome! Thank you for posting. I've never seen what it was like to fly a glider.

I can't see a flaps' handle - where it is?

Laat dat mens haar mond houden.

Thank you for reminding me my 16 years, in Évora, Portugal, in a Rhönlerche II. We also had a Blanik. Beautiful spins and stalls. The altimeter was calibrated to sea level, I guess...

Thank you, beautiful video. Brings back memories of my youth. I learned to fly in Slovakia (Czechoslovakia) in 1962,63,64 on Pionyr L-109. Mainly with a winch take off about 160 flights to 350 -450 m and some 20 air tows with Zlin 205 or Brygadir L 60. Our Deep Banking turns, stalls and spins were done from 1500 m.

How wonderful to have a group of incompetence people working seamlessly together 🤣🤣🤣
