Modern gliders can do amazing things like flying many hundreds of miles in a flight, using wind current to actually climb faster than a powered plane, and land exactly where you want it to touch down. This little video shows ground effect in action and how a glider can float over the ground much further than it looks like it can at first. Sometimes gliders need to land in farm fields and we need to get in and stopped in as short of a landing roll possible. It is good to practice landing exactly where you want to on every landing so you don't crash when it counts in some farm field somewhere. This airport is in Nephi, Utah and the glider is an ASW27. I hope you enjoy this short video and look forward to sharing more soon. Bruno
