Just thought I would thank you for the video. It's been my all time favorite for 2 years or so. I sold my motor to focus on fixed wing airplanes almost 15 years ago and every time I watch your video I realize how big of a mistake it was. get yourself a new prop and get back up there!
that is the best ppg video i have ever seen you dont jump all over the place u r flying over city's and brigs u r so cool can u make more ppg vids :+J
This was a wonderful video; thank you for sharing it. I also live in Virginia and wonder if you might offer any suggestions about who to contact for lessons, and where in Virginia, if at all, they are offered. Thanks again for the video!
I really enjoyed the beginning of this video, but when you switched to the "super-wide" angle lens it actually made me nauseous. (I'm serious) Was it a different lens or different camera? Anyway, although you can see more...what you do see is so distorted it's distracting. Please give us more "non-warped" video like in the beginning...it felt like we were actually there. Very cool.
Hey vid22, I totally agree with you. I don't use this lense anymore (it was a "fisheye lense). I have a more recent video of my 30th and 31st flight--you should check that out! It has a normal camera view. :)
Yeah, you can keep it on post but I'm certain you can't fly it anywhere near the post. I was in the army. Where are you going and what do you want to do? write me back! :)
Cannon Crew Member, so i will be going to Ft. Sill for my AIT, then hopefully i qualify for Airborne School cause i want to go to the 173rd in Vicenza Italy. Aviation is my passion, and i fly ultralights and trikes with my dad, and always wanted to get into powered paragliding. So i was going to get one after my training.
Awesome! I went airborne and got stationed at Ft. Bragg. Oklahoma should be good for you flying because of all the flat land. It's also a plus that you have experience flying ultralights. There are a lot of good places to paraglide in Italy as well. Good luck! :)
Nice dude, I love the 82nd, such history behind them, i wanted to be 82nd but i love Europe so i want to go there, I just wish they had a AB unit in Germany cause i am becoming fluent in German.
That was one of the coolest things I've ever seen! I'm going to get one tomorrow and fly to work down rt.28 and land in the EDS parking lot. Cause that's how I do it!
I live in Fredericksburg. I don't fly, but cool to see a birds eye view of the area, esp. the river bridges. Falmouth and I95 bridges congested as usual!

Sweet! Gotta buy me a kit! What are the legalities on something like, say, flying over a downtown? I am also in VA.
bobsutube 2 years ago
Legally, I was in OK airzone. Safety wise, I shouldn't have been flying over downtown.

joejumps4fun 4 years ago
if that's the curvature of the earth, then it would only be about a half mile in diameter

Not so good, I hate fisheye lens.
buddybleau 4 years ago
I don't blame you -- I stopped using it for my flights. I rarely even use the wide-angle lens, too. It distorts the view.

Hi Nice film. I live and ppg out here in Wisconsin/Illinois. But my mom lives in Fredericksburg.
So I sent it to her to give her an overview. BTW she says she's seen 'you' fly overhead...Thanks & Blue skies, Brian DelCampo Racine, WI.

I like that you fly over small towns and almost wherever you want. I hope to do the same thing when I buy my ppg.
