In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Bern Gliding Group, a truly spectacular event took place. Three vintage gliders were prepared for an extraordinary bungee cord launch rom the picturesque Längenberg in Englisberg, Switzerland: The legendary Spalinger S 19 HB-225 from 1937, the Mosway III HB-374 from 1944, and the Schleicher K-8 HB-695 from 1961. This launch required sheer muscle power and teamwork, with two groups of ten or more helpers, also known as "rubber dogs," exerting all their strength at the ends of the ropes. Following the commands of "pull the rope," "run," and "race," the gliders were catapulted off the launching ramp with astonishing force. What followed was a breathtaking flight of a few minutes, gliding majestically towards Kehrsatz and Belp, before gracefully landing at the gliding site at Bern Airport.
I can highly recommend this awesome website for aircraft tracking:
