Librarian Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Very Cool video of pilot Alberto Sironi in his Ventus 2 CXT. 11 hour flight (the video is not quite as long, but is still 12min.). Looks like he set 7 Italian records on this flight going across the Alps.Video is making its way cross the internets and I thought to share. Its funny reading write ups of the video, then read the follow on write ups explaining to non glider pilots how its possible to fly without an engine. Some people thought he was launched from near space and simply slowly floated down!Here's his flight video.
