Freeeeeeeeeedoooooooooom !!!! I haven't any other words !!!!! I love this feeling ....... so many time... so many meeters AGL ... wow... Great job man !!!! ;-)
No it was not:-) It was just a small cumulus cloud between FL 100-140, the instability layer was very thin. So despite it was ising in the cloud, the flight through it lasted only 15-20 seconds. So nothing to be scared of:-)
From a fellow 421 flyer all I can say is that the 421 is an outstanding aircraft and you have done a nice job of capturing the feeling of flying this bird in your video, well done.
We used to own two of em'. Greatest Cessna ever. By the way, after checking my fathers log books, I googled their call signs to find out that both had been repainted and had the avionics upgraded and now are for sale.
On Cessna 421, you have only electric window heat on the LH seat, no de-ice or anti ice on the FO seat. But the ice usually goes away before commencing the approach - by sublimation or just simply melts in higher air tempreatures:-)
Beautifull footage man! I nvy you, you get to fly way above all the caos of most air traffic and geographical obstructions with only those enormous cumulus 4 friends :). Yet you have less responsibility than a 747 captain, that is the best sort of freedom in the air that I can realistically imagine! Btw how do you get rid of the windsheild ice? I know how wing de-icing boots work, and carbi de-icing, but what 4 the windsheild, does the cabin heat simply take care of it?
Yuk music!
