True flying......Thanks! Now if I could only find a way to get my Alaska bush flying experiences off this darn VHS tape and on to the computer.

You didn't tape over the wedding video did you?

Nice video.. What kinda camera did you use or was that just a typical cam-corder?

I have been thinking about trying to mount a small video camera on a wingtip or vert stab of my rv6..

Brought a smile to my face. )

Thanks for the compliments! It was filmed in Minnesota, along the WI border... North of Minneapolis.

I used the "video" function of my Nikon CoolPix 3200 digital camera combined with a mini-tripod on the dash of the Champ. The ultra low-tech approach seemed to work.

Now I just need ideas for other good flying themed music for my feature legnth film

What airports in MN? Watching it I was thinking something looked familiar! That must be the St Croix river I see.

Cool. I did my private pilot training at the last airport in your film.

That looks like Lake Elmo, with the low pass at Benson..


Am I close?

How refreshing to see a clip that doesn't include a Cessna doing split S and "corkscrews," and has no references to bodybags.

Nice.

Champ is a good airplane. I miss mine terribly and with fuel over $4 around here I wish I had it back.
At the price they bring now, I wish I had every one I had the chance to buy for $6000 or less in the 70's.

Enjoyed to video

I learned to fly in a 65 hp Champ back in the mid-60's. I belonged to a flying club and the airplane cost $4/hr wet to rent. I had the chance to buy one once (in Annual) for $600. They built a few new ones back in the early 70's for $5000 or so. Things sure have changed.
