I figure instead of complaining about the economy or what I don't like about SA magazine, I would post a positive message about GA. How about everyone post a video they like about Aviation.
Check out this video, a aviation fun day in small town Montana. This may appeal to some Sport Aviation fans, but beware there is no TBM's or instrument approaches.

Flying my 1954 PA18 Supercub as the sun rises over Central Illinois http://youtu.be/PqEzjKr6VzM
Here's a video that a friend of mine put together for my birthday a couple of years ago. It was shot about a year prior, on one of my visits to my home-away-from-home in Guelph, ON. I got to give my wife and my dad (himself a lifelong pilot) their first Tiger Moth rides, and they were my first passengers in the type. It was one of my absolute best days of flying since getting my Private a bit over 20 years earlier:

The joys we receive from the hours of building are almost imeasurable. If you are in themiddle of a project, don't give up!

This may just be rapidly becoming my favorite thread. :thumbsup:

Thanks for posting Jeff. For me, arguably the most magnificent visual expression of what it means to fly that I have ever seen. Just blew me away! Replacing the current soundtrack with Pink Floyd's "Clouds" would make it perfect. Wow!, just awe inspiring.
[QUOTE=Floatsflyer;7806]Thanks, Floats. I never get tired of watching it.Quote:

Hi Jeff - I just edited your post so your (fantastic!) video is now embedded. Any time you want to embed one, just click the "insert video" button (that, anachronistically, looks like a couple of frames of film) on the toolbar. Paste the web address of the video into the box, and the forum software will do the rest. (Presuming it's from a supported video source - YouTube, Hulu, Vimeo, among a few others.)Quote:

I've made a lot of videos over the years...aerobatics (spins, botched hammers, etc.), life at the farm with the airplane, grass strips we've flown to, rides I've given...stuff like that. My favorite is photos of kids my husband, our friends, and I have taken flying over the years. We take a lot of Young Eagles flying every year. Love those smiles. :)

One thing I've always noticed about RV pilots--they all have big grins on their faces!

Great video and it reminds me of many of the Young Eagles I've taken flying. A VERY rewarding experience and I LOVE the smiles. I guess my personal favorites are of my grandkids when they were about eight years old and concentrating on the job at hand, as they held the stick. The rewards of 'giving' are shown beautifully in those smiles.Quote:

http://vimeo.com/34317677Here's a little video reconfigured from a 1988 slide show done for my then, Chapter 154. I think you might enjoy the story, and perhaps it will encourage those of you still building. http://vimeo.com/34317677
John,
I very much enjoyed your slide show and narration. I moved to Regina and joined S Sask Chapt 154 shortly after you moved to the island. I am in Lethbridge now, so your video has me thinking about going back home to Saskatchewan. I am plans building a Zenith CH750 so I have thought lots about what I am going to fly over on a trip "back home". Thanks for sharing!
Joe Harrington
Thanks for the nice comment Joe. Your name is familiar to me from correspondance with various Chapter 154 I guess, though I 'thought' I remembered a Joe Harrigton from previous years, then from Saskatoon I believe. It was a LONG time ago though so it may well have been someone else. In any case, enjoy your project....that's a fun process too....and when you eventually fly it 'home' you'll be one proud dude, as you should be. Mine was an amazing experience and I am sure yours will be too. Happy flying and keep the dream alive.
John

heli fun. come along to my favorite place.
Have you seen how some of the recent aviation shows make ordinary flying look so dramatic? We'll here's my two hour attempt of making an ordinary flight as a passenger appear much more interesting than it actually was (yes, the flight was fun and I'll jump at the next chance to go, but it was not nearly as dramatic as your about to see). The power of editing...

this would be us, march 2011, Nummijärvi FlyIn here in Finland. Partisipated with 4 planes from Kauhava, alltogether there were about 50 planes. Runway was made on the ice. And we had just a wonderful weather on that day. A friend of mine, who was flying the plane I was travelling with, edited this video from several cameras we had with us, at least 2 cams / plane :D.
First attempt playing with the new camera yesterday. Will have to work on some more and better acro video.

women who love to fly and go to the beach. nothing like a good women. love that girl.
We went to the Hangar Hotel is in Fredericksburg, Texas. A great (fantastic) place to fly and spend the night. Rent a car or take a shuttle into town for even more fun and frolick. Food, shopping, museums and more! The Airport diner has wonderful food and atmosphere. Step back into the past during WWII and relive what is was like then.

Since we're talking video, and I am a 'video guy', I thought I'd chime in here. In 2009 I was selected to be a Ford "Fiesta Agent". Basically, Ford gave me (and 100 other people) one of their new Fiestas to drive for six months and in return I made monthly videos for them based on 'missions' they sent me on. When "Adventure Month" showed up I jumped at the chance to get into the air. I'd been gazing skyward since I was a kid, but never really had had the chance to do anything about the desire to fly.
There isn't as much pure flying in this video as the other videos posted here - but I think you'll still enjoy it. You're about to see my first taste of acro and..... well let's just say I'm a little embarrassed with how things turned out. That said, I'm currently taking lessons towards a private certificate in a J3 Cub so it couldn't have scarred me too badly! :cool:

If you're interested in seeing what the full "dogfight" experience with Air Combat is like you can watch it here: http://youtu.be/bet1sV9f1Do
I wish I would have had a logbook at the time - some of the pilots are CFIs and you can log the time.
Love all the videos everyone else has posted thus far! I definitely lost an hour or so earlier today watching all of them!
