Absolutely amazing nocturnal flight display with fireworks using an MDM-1 Fox aerobatic glider. The flight was performed at Festa al Cel 2017 airshow by Ian Gallacher in the Catalan airport of Lleida-Alguaire. GliderFX is a company that specializes in aerobatic glider flight displays and experiences. It offers stunning and unique aerobatic displays in the world’s most exciting aerobatic gliders aided by wingtip smoke and pyrotechinics. Their breathtaking displays are suitable for events of all types ranging from birthday parties and weddings to major sporting events and airshows. No venue is too small and they can fill the sky with action at the biggest event too. The Team’s pilots have a wealth of experience from both air displays and aerobatic competitions and their displays have been seen in the UK, Europe and Middle East. These pilots have taken top honours in national aerobatic competitions and have also competed at European and World levels. In 2010, the team's displays were witnessed by over 3.5 million people at venues in the UK and across Europe. The team have also featured in the National Press and on International television broadcasts as well as displaying further afield in the Middle East. The team uses the The MDM-1 Fox, which is a two-seat Polish glider, the big sister of the S-1 Swift. Like the earlier S-1 Swift, its construction is largely composite keeping the weight down while retaining unparalleled strength. The design work on the Fox design was started in November 1992 and the first prototype was flown on 9th July 1993. The Fox made it’s debut at the 1993 Glider Aerobatic Championships at Venlo, Netherlands, where Jerzy Makula took Gold flying the prototype. The strength of the design is the second seat, so it is perfect for training and sharing the thrill of glider aerobatics and flying displays. The team’s aircraft, G-IIFX, was imported into the UK by Guy Westgate in 2011 having been the German agents demonstrator (D-4034) and then based in Switzerland with SkyAdventure. (HB-3298). Production stopped in 2005 after 36 had been built, but in 2011 the company announced that it would make another small batch.
