First off, I will warn everyone who wants to see the video...

I know these forums are neutral when it comes to religion and I support that. BUT... in the video I am posting it does have two very Christian songs in it. It reflects how I feel toward aviation, and at the same time do not want to offend anyone. (which is why I'm writing this part). If you feel it will offend you, I just ask that you turn the volume down or don't watch it in the first place. If you have any questions/comments regarding the music please PM me.

If you have comments regarding the music or anything like that, just send me a PM and I'll be glad to get back to you.

Now, to the video.

It's a compilation of short clips/photos that my sister has taken on our flights together. Most of the clips are from about 6 years ago... right around when I got my license. There is one video (very end of first song) taken about 3 weeks ago though... and if you look closely you'll see several more pics from that same flight.

The real work was done by her... I just flew the plane!

Also, the very first pictures and video was taken on my flight back home after FINALLY getting my instrument rating. Cheesy

Anyway, I hope you can enjoy the video! It was quite fun making it.

I am guessing you fly SoCal? Love the scenery there

Actually no... the opening clips are actually from Central Washington... just east of the Cascades. All the rest are on the west side... about 30 miles north of Seattle.

Nice little vid. Managed to watch most of it yesterday. Interestingly teeny weeny runway (being used to 6000ftx150ft myself!)... Grin

Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed it.

haha, well in the summer time it does look a lot like Southern CA... which is why I like it over here.

And FYI the strip is 2,700 by 30'

Very cool stuff- makes me want to go flying! I'm gonna try to book a checkout in a 152 this weekend, coincidentally... been a while since I flew one of those and I'm looking forward to it. Coupla very nice Cessnas in that video...

Nice of you to provide that "warning", but I'll tell you as a non-religious pilot who definitely considers flying a spiritual experience that I thought the music worked just fine; added that spiritual "vibe" very nicely. I think we're basically on the same page when it comes to flying, regardless of any particular details of faith.

I think most of us are, although I was doubting it tonight at 250ft on an ILS and still not visual with the approach lighting or runway! Grin

Concentrated the mind!
