Flying over the airport ? That's legal ? :O

@Maddenecks Yup, legal as long as you have clearance from atc.

Loved this video! Thanks for posting. What was the reason for the flight? Test flight, purchase?

[DMFK1981]

@stachowi Thanks!

Flight was just a leisure flight. We were all in town for the R.H.C. Safety Course.
