This video now looks great in HD 1080 resolution and Full Screen Mode...Even if I say it myself

Which aircraft was that being flown?

Glad you enjoyed it AD...It shows a lot more detail now in HD.

Number 1 was the red one WACO RNF...NC 11456
Number 2 was the blue one with the chome cowling WACO QCF-2...NC 11424
Number 3 was the other blue one with less engine cylinders and power WACO INF...NC-637Y

This particular flight, that I made two years ago, was viewed from the Number 3 which being a lot lighter thrust itself into the air on take-off before the other two! The aim was for all three to cross over the runway, in opposition, at the same moment. As you saw, number 3 was a bit late but I liked the sight of the 1 and 2 crossing in front and then 3 rolling under their smoke so I kept it and was satisfied. I was also very pleased with the rather dramatic landing

Those three aircraft were bought by the "Taildraggers Club" over at Situk and they fly each weekend.

Is the aircraft payware?

The scenery looks real good. I am guessing that is in Alaska?

Yes, I'm pretty sure the three Waco aircraft were a payware package but I can't find any clues as to where I bought it...Here is a picture of the Real version of one of them:-



The scenery in the video is my own base, in Alaska at the end of the Russell Fjord, called McLeland Field

Thats a nice picture of the Waco. Thanks for the information on the aircraft and where to buy it.

[petermcleland]

Thanks for that Joe...I could not remember where I had got the Waco package from. I'm finding that now I've remade that video in HD, it has become my favourite...I love watching it on my big screen and each time I pick out new things that were just not discernable in the previous resolution. Just for info...I have found that on some sites when you post the URL, it gets converted automatically to "Imbedded"...This is OK on some sites but on others it uses an out of date embedding code that does not give you the ability to go "Full Screen" the latest embed codes give a "Full Screen" icon in the bottom right corner. I find that these HD videos just demand the Full Screen mode and have discovered that you can prevent these offending sites converting your URL into "Embedded" by placing the {url}....{/url} tags before and after the URL...Using the Squared Brackets of course! This prevents it being converted and allows the viewer to not only select the 1080 resolution but also to click it to Full Screen:-

Peter, that was excellent, can now see why you were in an aerobatic team in the RAF, superb flying.

I have tried formation aerobatics with the Chippie but on top of the loop it all goes pear shaped and the lead a/c just gets away from me. Now after watching that display I'm going to have to definately try again.

Kind regards
Nigel.

Thanks Nigel...I know you know how to do this sort of stuff but for others benefit I posted this elsewhere:-

Just in case anyone does not know how this sort of flying is done...I flew all three aeroplanes...First on my own in the Red Machine. Then I played that back as Traffic and formated on it, in the Blue machine with the chrome cowling, and split at the right time and came in the right way to thread the needle with the Red machine while rolling in time to his roll. Finally I played back both of those as Traffic and flew the lighter blue machine with the 5 cylinder radial, continuing on when they split and did a half loop and roll off to come in at 90 degrees to the runway and roll under their smoke trails as they threaded the needle. Then I had to judge my circuit to get down and join with the other two on the turn off the runway for the taxy in and parking...Great fun and I just loved it and I love watching it happen all over again
