I was really hoping to see more of that SPAD than the occasional glimpse.

@Shatnerpossum Hi, I have about 30 other aerodrome videos-many of dogfights with more footage of SPAD.

its hard to believe that a plane from that age is still cappable of flying. i love it

@lotteskatergirl1993 I visited Rhienbeck several times back in the 70's. Most of the planes are not originals, they were built from original plans and many of them had authentic engines of the period but the airframes were fairly new.

Hey, what kind of camera is it that you use? Awesome quality and zoom!

[kfsipdog]

It is a Sony DCR-SR45 Handycam with Hybrid Disk Drive. 30 Gb or 20 hours storage capacity. The digital audio is absolutely fabulous with this one. These cameras are so light that they are prone to the herky-jerky movements of the cameraperson. Better used with a tripod or monopod. I think that I was using my tripod as a monopod when I shot this.-KFS

Okay thanks for the camera info

Fantastic video. I've been dying to get to ORA for years. Thanks for tiding me over. ;)

Also the audio is prone to wind, breathiing and other cameraperson noises due to its incredible sensitivity. Styrene or other foam placed over the mike opening may dull this without any degradation to the desirable sounds.
