Take Me Higher

A former (excellent) student of mine, Ryan, took me up flying in his club plane. We flew around Charlevoix and other parts of northern Michigan. It was a lot of fun as I got to hang out with Ryan, see northern Michigan from a diffferent perspective, go weightless, and I got to fly. The video is put to the song Higher by Creed.

Ryan, nice vid! Thanks for the memories. I grew up in East Jordan and like yourself, I did a lot of flying over that area when I was in high school... from the 777 final assembly line at Boeing, -Paul

It's nice to see my hometown (Charlevoix, MI) in a different perspective. Great video!

Great video. Next time put a small mic inside the earphone and capture the chatter from ground to pilot and dialoge inside cabin. Locations in text are good feature, especially if you know the landmarks. You could call out speed at take off and speed at altitude. I think viewers would be surprized how fast the little Cessna can go at top speed and how slow it is at landing.

Haha!! I am not offended at all. In fact it wouldn't be the first time someone has mentioned that. I think I do a pretty good impersonation of Jim... Maybe that will be my next video... Thanks for the complement!
