|

here's raw footage of my 1st video, friend shot it from a small / cheap camera but even without the hd quality its a start.
this flight is a flyby of the town of mammoth lakes, flyover of mammoth lakes basin and then an orbit around mammoth mountain ski area.

Looks great. I'd like to see more of these.
I wish Air Nav could link to a video like this for approaching airports. It would give a person a head up when going somewhere new. |

| Anyone know about the camera mount on the Quicksilver demo airplane at OSH. Looked like a movable turret |

Convict Lake, across from the airport is one of the Nature Valley spots from the granoloa commercials.

The lake was named after an incident in 1871, where a group of convicts escaped from prison in Carson City. A posse, led by Sheriff Robert Morrison, encountered the convicts near the head of what is now Convict Creek. Morrison was killed in the encounter, and Mount Morrison was named after him. I think they hanged the convicts at the lake.
