| Description: | In Poland, 22 nations take part in the world gliding championships. Pictures of airborne grace are the free-flying sailplanes. Throngs of people to watch the spectacular and whimsical flying abilities of the pilots flying the noiseless gliders. MS - Some kind of balloon filled with helium floating above the town. "Poznas SP-8Z8" MCUS - The tail ends of the gliders parked on the ground. CUS - Some sport spectators enjoying the sun and the day. MSWA - Helicopter with a line attached to the glider pulling it up into the air. VFH - The glider being towed up and let loose. MS - Another glider being pulled up by a plane. POV - In back of the pilot and looking out the window of the glider. MS - The gliders fly in low to the ground and pick up an air draft and fly up into the air again. | |
