Flying Video: Departing Schaumburg

A few weeks ago, I obtained a new GoPro HD Hero video camera. This was very exciting for me and I’ve been dying to take it up flying.

Of course, an hour-and-a-half long flying video would be painful for most people to watch. So I am slowly, painfully learning to edit video on my creaky old PC with some very basic editing software. This is the first clip I’ve been able to produce. Be warned: (1) I talk to myself while I fly, and (2) I’m a huge flying nerd.

In the first few seconds an Aerostar twin lands. The PGA tournament was in town, so the airport had lots of cool planes, including a sexy Mooney Acclaim that took off right after me.

More to follow on my youtube channel whether you like it or not. Constructive criticism is always welcome!

    Glad to know I am not the only pilot that talks to himself. Nice video!
