BestAir AI; Team flight to the Dolomites (170); Ortler Hintergrat Hike & Fly
Peter Waldner has been offering the BestAir AI app since the end of last year. The app uses artificial intelligence to analyse weather models and actual flight data. This information is then used to generate a forecast for the next five days. In this video, Peter explains how the app works. He goes into more detail in the podcast with Lucian Haas (in German).

There are plenty of cross-country flight videos, but unfortunately very few are narrated and provide good background information, as David Hess’s does. In the video, David shows how he and his mate are turning their long-cherished dream of an FAI triangle from Speikboden into reality.
Most hike-and-fly videos follow this pattern: a man climbs a mountain, a man flies down – that’s it. Ulrich Schwarzenberger demonstrates that hike-and-fly can actually be quite a bit more complex and opens up new possibilities for route selection. On their hike up the Ortler, he and his mate take the ‘detour’ via the Suldenspitze.
