    A beautiful melting together of Sun, Sea and Sky, engaging the ladies in the fun game of catch and toss and of course the amazing flying and cinematography. The music was the cherry on top. Your formation flying made the gliders seem almost alive, like a mated pair of birds.
    You and your family have raised the bar yet again.

    This video is so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes, reminding me of how my dearly beloved exgf used to love catching my gliders. She was so funny,.. especially when she'd miss the catch and be chasing the glider runniung with herr arms out sttretched. Making her funny comments. Being silly and adorable... Crystal.

    What a truly beautiful video! Nothing more enjoyable than spending a nice day with family. Between the flying location, the models you build and fly and the amazing video work of your wife, I don't think you will ever see a better video of any RC flying! Let alone the beautiful vintage gliders, flying in formation at such close proximity to the camera. Amazing! Something about your videos seem to make all the troubles of the world fade away. Please make more. We all need them!

    Thanks loads, John, for the quick answer and for your GREAT vids. I built and flew gliders as well as U-control powered planes as a kid - great sport so many kids miss today. Also grew up flying in our family's airplane - a Stinson Station Wagon and later a Piper Tri-pacer. Too expensive today so I "fly" motorcycles!

The shots where these aviatrixes are silhouetted as they launch and re-launch these entrancing floaters - perfection. All of this vid is good, but as I said, there's bits with the gals launching the planes that are truly magical to my discerning eye. Bravo.

    Brings back memories, not these exact gliders, but similar stuff. One I spent the most time flying a bit later was a Craft Air SD-100, about two decade later stuff...still monokote built up, but ASA fuse. Lots and lots of quiet hours just winching up and thermalling the the day away. :-) So serene, like this. I remember flying pulse rudder and even some Orbit (IIRC) reed servo stuff...THAT was pretty old, one channel at a time and no proportional.
