1963 World Gliding Championship in Argentina

[Bernard]

Animated by the GA59 gliders I attempted to recreate the 1963 World Gliding Championship which was held at Junin Airport SAAJ in Argentina. Gliders are rather the 'stepchilds' og aviation and left far behind. At least in flight simulation.

I tried to use almost all available types which flew in classic era or probably where still seen then. Due or thanks to Wolfgang Piper's contributions a lot of the gliders are German made. They where very successful during several decades.




An exception with the newly introduced Schweizer SGS2-32

Nice work Bernard. Gliders everywhere! It is good to see a glider in flight.

Well that’s certainly different 😀

Again, a very original scene well done. Like it, Bernard!

Cheers,
