Flight Club #2 - Icy 750km with Lars

A new weekend, a new epsiode!

After visiting the Italian Alps with Davide, we set northern course and arrive in the Netherlands. Located right at the sea and home to some amazing flatland pilots, the Netherlands are a small but active soaring nation.

Lars Groot is Clemens guest today. Not only do they have some good laughs but they cover some interesting topics as well. Top motiviations for long distance flying, how the local community pushes the limits, some Dutch lessons for Clemens and the feeling of missing the 1k by a couple of hundred meters.

Like every week, you get deeper insights about a unique lifestyle and what it takes to become a successful long distance pilot in this part of the world.
