I got a chance to fly a glider in the mountains in the Romsdal area of Norway last week, including a couple of flights to Trollveggen (Troll Wall), the highest vertical cliff in Europe. It got a lot spectacular footage! Here is a video I made from the experience:



And here are a few of the pictures:














Rest of pictures can be seen in my gallery

Hope you enjoy it :-)

Preeettty! And no way in hades I am doing that without an engine

At least the engine won't stop at an inopportune moment

Although I actually do have a small pop-up engine in the back :-)

Outrageously, fiendishly gorgeous!

Glad you got to enjoy such an incredible experience.

Sweet! I passed Bjorli two weekends ago in a C172 bound for Kristiansund. Heard about some glider activity there from ATC

Stunning pictures!

Austrian-registered glider? Or is that pic only for illustration?

That was us then! :-) Soaring camp was september 21-29, and there's rarely glider activity at Bjorli the rest of the year.



Picture only for illustration, as I couldn't be bothered search for one of my own with the engine extended :-)

Fantastic pics arneh!

First thing I tell my wife this morning...

A. "Get up, the coffee's brewed."
B. "Going let the dogs out."
C. "'morning sweetheart."
D. "HOLY #%&*$# YOU GOTTA SEE THIS VIDEO!"

This answer of course is D.

Breathtaking, and no more than about 50 miles from Alesund (a place I dream of visiting). You should make a video for Disney EPCOT's hang glider ride.

I keep a collection of your pics every time you fly the fjords, what a beautiful place.

One of these days I'll visit Norway. As soon as I win the Lotto.

That was spectacular, many thanks for taking us along on a vision I could hardly even dream.
Just WOW.

Glad you like it :-)

If you want to see more spectacular footage from Norway, here's one I made a little earlier this summer flying over the fjords:

Awesome videos arneh.


Wheels

Another great video.

Whats the music you have used?

In the second video? First track is from the Kick Ass soundtrack, it's called "In the House" composed by John Murphy. Second track is Illusions by Thomas Bergersen.

Det var en kjempe flott video Arne!

I fly gliders around Haugesund area. We have some mountains, but far from anything like this. It makes me want to go up there for the next camp!!!

Vi burde ha et Norgestreff for SimHQ!

Ah! SimHQ is being invaded by Norwegians!

Magnificent. Would also suit Wagnerian accompaniment.

Awe-inspiring soaring there arneh!

Thanks
