Some days you got this perfect vector at the perfect altitude. Some days the sun is at just the right angle as well. Some days you even got your camera with you. Enjoy the surf! Equipment: Fokker 50, Canon G9. Music: Café Del Mar - Aria 1 - Dido.

  • Excellent! Thanks for the video. More like that with mic chatter, if U can. What was the route? I was in Beech 1900 and pilot cloudsurfed the contours of clouds so well defined it was like a huge white-sand beach...never seen anything like it. A phenomenon of nature I need to see again.

  • That was just southeast of London City, getting delaying vectors. We were IFR, so we were just lucky to be just at the right altitude with the sun in just the right angle :-).

  • fantastic video man, congratulations!.

  • Awesome

  • Great!... Look at the aircraft's shadow at the cluods! Amazing!

  • beautiful, this probably makes pilots go over the inconveniences of this job.

  • I hope to be flying professionally in about 6 years....

    already soloed (16th birthday =]), and working on my private. Still have time until I'm 17.

  • Really great video, great flying, great plane!!!

  • File > publish film > This computer > next > [select name location] > select Compress to .. mb > Publish (type will be wmv automatically then). That's for the version in my Vista Home Premium at least.

  • you said u compressed it to a 90mb wmv file.

    but which type did you choose?

    was it Local video format?

    or video for PDA?

    u know u get these choice`s when u click "save to my computer" : S

  • The G9 is the best "compact" (although bit big) you can find concerning pics, the video quality is very good as well but it can't zoom optically during filming (you have to zoom beforehand), but nor can any other digicam really that has an external lens. Be aware that youtube will compress the video hugely which reduces quality. My video "approach to land 4" is also shot with the G9 at night, for comparison. Search for "G9 review" on youtube for more.

  • aha!

    you see im buying a cam that must have good quality on videos, so the G9 is pretty nice man.

  • Sweet !!!!

  • I shot the clip with my Canon G9 digicam, it has nice video quality. I edited the clip in windows moviemaker by adding the song and saving / compressing it to a 90 mb wmv file. That's all...

  • how did u make this video?

    quality is to nice!

  • i really like it...

  • impressive :)

  • cool
