Great shot, but where's the water......is that water ballast you're jettisoning?

I'm not the pilot jimricho, I took the pic.
Yes, that is water ballast being dumped and streaming out behind. Maybe 200 litres of it coming from tanks in the wings...
That glider might be doing 250kph there.

Cheers,
Peter
