Hi Peter,

That was a nice bit on the AirCam this week.
I had the pleasure of flying N122CZ a few years back. A delightful thing to fly.

Warning : do not gaze upon my hideousness too long :worried:

Yes, I enjoyed those videos and they remind me very much of our coastal flying in FLIGHT :)

Indeed, and speaking of FLIGHT, the last segment covered the RedBull plane flying around the wind turbine towers
.. - with a warning to everyone not to try it in a 172...
But he didn't say we couldn't try it in an RV.. B)smk

I'll assume from that, it'd be OK if we gave it a go.. :Dance:

Yes...There is a nice wind farm near an airfield that we met on a few times...I made a video over it once...I'll try to find it Joe :)

Yes...It was this one Joe:-

PS...I've just discovered that Mozilla Firefox will no longer play my videos in HD! That makes Firefox a waste of space so I have returned to IE7 and that plays them perfecly :)

Very good, after we do the wind turbines , maybe we can clean the hanger with a good blow out.

You tackle the cobwebs in the roof trusses, I'll do the floor.
