First time flying my glider out of Heber, Utah going east 102 miles over the entire Uinta Mountains including Kings Peak, then back to Mount Timpanogos where I did some loops for the hikers before landing. Flying loops for the hikers at both mountain tops was a lot of fun. Notice how much rock is in view as the sailplane pulls through from the inverted dive of the loop. Fun! :) Heber is a beautiful place for gliding and I highly recommend pilots bringing their gliders through Utah to stop and get a tow. Thanks so much for watching! Bruno - B4

I put an early version of this video up on youtube a few days ago and a helpful commenter pointed out that I had edited some of the clips in the wrong order. The wrong ordered clips made the video jump all over the place in a few parts. Better the just wipe the slate clean, edit correctly, and upload a new correct video. Thanks for pointing it out so I could correct it!
