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

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

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

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.
