I tried watching it with my sunglasses on. Still too much glare. Looks gnarly.

You need a dirtier airplane, they don't glare as much. Hook us up with a new camera angle on that one please. [-o<

Hey Blu....cut you a piece of black flannel to cover the dash. It sure helped get rid of the windscreen glare in my videos.
Oh, great video anyway! =D>

I'll try that
the glare isnt that noticable when flying but it really does mess up the video.

Using google earth it looks like there is 170' usable but it feels longer since its so steep.
I'm guessing a 20% grade.

Nice. It sure is great how steepness lends length......the steeper the shorter =D>

What part of the country (roughly) is that?
