Video of me landing the BE20 on gravel

[JohnnyP]

Ok, heres my first attempt at a video. Its of me flying the KingAir into a gravel strip in Afghanistan. (Bamyan, Afghanistan)

I had the guy in the right seat hold the camera while I landed.

I apologize for the quality, its not even a video camera, just has a video feature. Im working on getting a real digital video camera so I can make nice clips.

Enjoy

A fly makes a cameo crawling up the window...

Oh you have no idea.....Its a cross between closing the door during a stop, or leaving it open to get some air flowing....i chose to leave it open, and flys love resting inside kingairs apparently....ill spend the majority of the day not actually flying the plane, but using the checklist to try to swat them. One of these days im going to have a fire because of dead fly's in between the windshield and glareshield.

Hang up some sticky fly tape.

There's nothing more annoying than a fly loudly buzzing around as you're focusing on the approach.

Nice job!

 

[pgcfii2002]

So where is the terminal?

 

[pilotpapa]

great video...nice job. All that way and no Starbucks!

That's approximately 3000% cooler than yet another Riddle Ace spot landing his 152 in full monkeysuit. Granted, that's faint praise, but thumbs up.

 

[Midnight Flyer]

schweeeeet!!

 

[Rough67]

Have you been shot at while flying out there?

 

[JohnnyP]

...

The closest starbucks is in Dubai as far as I know, not too far away by jet.

And no, never been shot at. I hope it stays that way. Just stay higher longer and turn the lights off, worked so far.

Im working on getting a nice video camera, then i can take high quality vid's and post them on that youtube site for everyone. Id like to let people experience what im doing out here, its totally different than the regional job i left. Never looked back since.

The problem is the internet out here. Ours is down a lot. I think it would be more effiecient for me to get everyones personel address and send things via messenger pigeon, we'll see.

That was very interesting! Happy new year!!

Just what exactly are you looking for, in terms of quantity?
