Video of the best shots of the 2009 season from Sion (switzerland). The video was forwarded to us by Ben Johnson of Shenandoah Valley Soaring. Most scenes were filmed during late august 2009, from 10’000 to 21’000 feet using a Panasonic Lumix fx35. The gliders are a Nimbus 2c, Duo Discus and DG-505. The video was edited with Final Cut + some after effects tryouts.
