Super nice video of Guillaume Leroyer flying his Sonic in Brittany. They’ve had a lousy summer over there with lots of clouds and rain, but that didn’t stop Guillaume from getting back out flying with his dad. He’d been living abroad in Canada for work and was just back after two years away… clearly his flying hasn’t suffered at all! Really nice to see him making more movies!! 
Laurent Berlivet of Jivaro-Models was kind enough to send over this amazing collection of photos. Many have been featured previously in French hobby magazines. There’s a wide array of notable VTPR gliders and sites, everything from the Air-100 at the beach in Brittany, to Excaliburs at Ménez-Hom, to Saltos in Andorra, and a whole lot more. Plus a handful of classic BPLR Giant Zlin photos – those never get old!!
Enjoy, and big thanks to Laurent for sharing these!!

Wow… this summer seems to be churning out amazing slope aerobatics videos left and right!! I can barely keep up!! What an incredible time we are living in…
A fantastic video submitted by our friend Erwan Laurans (star of Pierre Rondel’s recent Sonic video) of some great flying at the mecca of VTPR, Ménez-Hom in Bretagne
VTPR à la Banne d’Ordanche from Pierre Rondel on Vimeo.
From Pierre Rondel’s fantastic Planet-Soaring:
“This is the latest video I did, last week-end: Erwan Laurans flying his Sonic at the Banne d’Ordanche (Auvergne) while waiting for the wind during a F3F competition.
His Sonic is 1.9 kg only. This is the typical VTPR sailplane.”
Beautiful glider, beautiful flying, beautiful site… thank you Erwan and Pierre for the inspiring video!
