It's dumping water ballast - high performance sailplanes often carry water in wing tanks to improve speed for cross country flights, which needs to be jettisoned before landing, usually during the final glide home and at low level while crossing the finish line in competitions.
That split second fire is a compressor stall.
The helicopter pilot has some serious skill
that's too many gliders, lol
That helicopter made a lot of contact with the roof, though.
Extraction 2 movie I think.
@@petercacousticpetemurray3894 🤣🤣🤣
Was that a jet powered glider 😂😂😂
I'm thinking yes as I have seen them before.
Maybe. It wouldn't be a glider then would it?
No, it's an aerobatic category glider they do this often so, smoke does not equal jet power.
@@coltsfan79no, there are no jet powered gliders.
