I liked this preflight video a lot. I’m definitely going to make on in the new year for my passengers.
Europe’s airspace comes back to life (video)
This is a great video showing how flights resumed over Europe after the volcanic ash cloud was deemed safe to fly in. I love looking at films like this but I’ve never seen one for Europe, only the US. Hat tip: Steve Clayton’s Geek In Disguise.
Gliding in the Alps in HD video
This is probably the most beautiful bit of aviation filming I have ever seen. It’s just gorgeous. It’s mostly film taken from a glider in the mountains around Sion in Switzerland at 10,000-21,000 feet. If you’ve never flown before, this film will explain why we do it. It’s worth clicking on the ‘full screen’ button just to see it in all its HD glory.
Awesome low-level aerobatics (Video)
Check this out. I bet you wish you could do this in your Extra!
Flyabout – movie review
I just watched Flyabout, a movie by Monika Petrillo about her flight around Australia with her father. It is a partly a film about flying but also a film about family relationships and personal discovery. It is inspired by the Aboriginal tradition of a ‘walkabout’ and it has something of that ‘anything may happen’ mood. I enjoyed it very much and recommend it to any pilot.
Bruges trip video
My friend Nick made a video of our trip to Bruges on Saturday. It’s really good and shows the flight and the town very well.
