Wow! A few days ago I came across a wave flight along Adriatic coast from Slovenia almost to Albania and back, also 1000km and now this! Such a distance over the sea in the glider. It requires a great knowledge, confidence and a great set of balls. Congrats!
Wow this is absolutely insane. Would you mind making an explaination video about the weather forecasting you did and the size of these waves and how large they get? I'm a paragliding pilot but can't really wrap my head around this phenomena and how you predicted it. Thanks for sharing this!
Holy cow!!! Well done Yves! What an achievement! You have just become my hero. As a glider pilot this would be my dream flight. On behalf of all glider pilots - a special thank you to the Italian authorities for being so accommodating.
I have flown in gliders in the UK but never thought that this was possible. I have lived and worked in Switzerland and travelled all over Europe and the terrain of the alps is truly inspiring but to fly over them in an unpowered plane is incredible. Well done!!!!
Nice long flight :-) A modern glider with a high glide ration like 1:50 can travel really far away, like 200 kilometer from 4.000 meter. But it just need a small engine, and like 50-100 liter of fuel
Beautiful views, thanks for sharing. I flew (as a passenger) from London to Calvi in July 23 and the flight path was diverted over Germany, Switzerland and Italy and the approach to Corsica was very similar.
Congratulations Yves! Great flight. Just a few years ago I would never have thought of the possibility of flights like these. I like the wave and fly from Turin and Aosta, but never such complicated flights. The road opened by Claus and Batpiste and you will hold many surprises for us.
Oh man.. so much eye candy.. the buzz of getting cleared to FL240 would knock me unconscious before ever getting low on O2. An extended cut with 2x or 4x speed please❤
Incredible flight! Mastering radio and weather in this airspace and at the same time fighting with cold while sitting still in freezer must be really hard! And exciting :) @Yves, could you share what tool/app did you use to animate your gps track on the map? Thank you!
Glückwunsch, das ist aber eine reife Leistung. Das hätte ich mir als einer, der fast 40 Jahre Kestrel fliegt nicht zugetraut. Weiß man denn, wie stark das Fallen überm Meer ist oder war das ein Experiment?
Lol at the Milano ATC. The controller managed to put so many emotions into his comment:-D I bet it must've been an equally exciting day for them as for you.

I don't think I've ever seen better views from a plane.
Congratulations to your amazing glider-flight to Corsica while surpassing 1000km in total. Cheerio
I'd appreciate a video on how you deal with controlled airspace in your glider!
Good question. Check out at 7:15 where he describes his conversations with Marseille and Italian air controllers.
😮wow nice . Always happy landings from Aeroclub bexbach EDRX
Brilliant!

Great video!!
Just wow
Just saw my old house in Pietracorbara from your glider 😮
What a trip! Thanks for sharing this amazing adventure ❤
Awesome

Absolutely crazy! As a former glider pilot myself this is unfathomable.
So ein unglaublicher Flug. Herzliche Gratulation.
How did you handle all the class A airspace and restricted areas in that section of the alps?
Wow incredible feat, congragulations, keep up the excellent work !!
Going over such a long stretch of sea in a glider is really impressive!
This is incredible.
Congratulations for this amazing flight.
This is absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing.
A wunderbare Flug muess das gsi sii! Guet gmacht! und Hopp Schwiiz!
This is amazing!! Thanks for sharing :)
You are amazing 🎉🎉🎉 congratulations from Texas!
As a paraglider pilot myself, I can only say WOW!! AMAZING!! Well done!!
You moved me. My dad was a glider pilot. On long flights looking for thermals. And doing aerobatics too. Thanks.
Wonderful performance!Most sincere congrats and cheers !
Unusual and surprising considering those outstanding pair of balls. Bravo.
Epic! Thank you for sharing your flight.
That was awesmoe, I wasn´t even aware that such long trips were feasable.
Great man, what a flight!! Regards from Sweden!

I've never ever said this before, but here I go: That was EPIC!
I can't wait to get my license!
Congratulations Yves that is fantastic flight. Thank you for sharing and many more flights like this

DG800 has finesse 50, in fact 51.5 with winglets.
Wow ! I didn't even know it was possible. Awesome
Geil gemacht Yves! Grosses Kino, gratuliere! Bis am Samstag an der Segelflugkonfrenz 👍✌️
Stunning photos😍
I would not have expected you to come back! Absolutely amazing videos and breathtaking views! Great job!
nice video !! keep it up
This is by far the most awesome flight I have ever seen!
Nuts !!!! Whoa 🙂
wow, that is really pretty amazing..
Congratulations! What a flight, well done Ives.
Thanks for the journey!
Spectacular
Beautiful views, thanks for sharing.

I live down there thank you for the visuals! Stunning
Awesome flight, congrats!
Awesome... Just Awesome.
Bravo!
Amazing!
wow respect this is sooooooooo crazy
Impressive !
This was an incredible video! Thanks for sharing.
What an awesome flight! Congartaulations!
Incredible! Do you think this would've been possible without self-propelling?

Great video Yves!
I am pretty happy when I fly 100km on paraglider, the scale difference is impressive! Really want to try sailplane
You passed almost over my head in the northern appenninis on the way back, if I knew it I'd try to take a picture from the ground
Nice!!!
Oh man.. so much eye candy.. the buzz of getting cleared to FL240 would knock me unconscious before ever getting low on O2. An extended cut with 2x or 4x speed please❤
Just like a bird , effortless journey .
Amazing trip, well done. Thanks for sharing.
amazing!
This is fantastic! 🤩🤩
Wow! What an incredible flight!!😲

Since Ayvri is not available anymore, I am using soaringlab.eu.
Amazing flight and amazing video!
Outstanding!
What’s the ETOPS on that? Two legs and arm bands. Well done my man!

Amazing 🤩.
Don't know much about gliders but great achivement!
Amazing! Congratulations!
Congratulations for this achievement and thanks for sharing these incredible moments! Cheers!
Bravo! Amazing flight
Hi, 10/10 and amazing views!
If you are looking for other fun places to visit, Bezmiechowa, Poland is a must visit for glider fans ;)
Wooow!! What a flight! congratulations! 😃
Wow! This is an impressive adventure
Holy cow. What glide ratio do you get over the sea and what sailplane are you in please?
Greetings from Vevey , nice project
Incredible, congrats!

What an awesome flight and video. Hope I´ll get to fly someday too :D
Nice
Propre.
Very Nice. I will try to recreate your flight on the MSFS 2020 Flightsimulator (using a Discus 2c FES). Thanks for Sharing
Amazing flight!
