| Video Discription | Lake Powell Utah/Arizona is a beautiful but desolate desert landscape of just water and rocks. I flew my high performance glider / sailplane over the lake from north to south on a pretty stormy day and it made for quite the adventure. Landing at Page was not planned but the thunderstorm forced my friend Dan in his glider and me in mine down in strong winds and rain. The people working at Page were incredibly helpful and friendly. They drove up to the runway in a golf cart in the wind and rain to help us to get our gliders off the runway and tied down safely. Tim (from the FBO) was fantastic and even helped to get the airport manager to let us winch launch out of the airport the next day - yes video of that will be coming. :) This was part of a 2,000 miles gliding safari adventure that 2 gliders made around 5 states and the Rocky Mountains. This part was coming closer to the end of the trip and we were tired but excited to be making progress towards home (Nephi, Utah). The views of Lake Powell and the angry storm clouds from the glider are memories I will never forget. What an adventure! I hope you enjoy. FYI - The glider is an ASW27B 15-meter (50 foot wingspan) sailplane that has a glide ratio of 47:1 and a max speed of around 175 mph. It is a pretty amazing machine. Cheers! Bruno |
