Video: Judith River Flight

Flying the Judith River in Montana this weekend with BTV. The video is just a shadow of how pretty it actually was.

Re: Video: Judith River Flight

That is absolutely beautiful. I really enjoyed the "follow the leader" perspective. It was a treat to see the shadows of both aircraft in some of the footage. I found myself banking in my chair as I watched the video - good job sucking me in. I'm not familiar with the Judith River - where in Montana is it located?

Hahaha, I chair-banked too!

I literally could watch that video all day long. Very satisfying experience. Good work!

Re: Video: Judith River Flight

Thanks guys. Glad you enjoyed it. I'm a chair-banker myself, so I consider it to be the highest form of compliment for a flying video! We had some dodgy weather and I fought camera problems all weekend, so I was pretty happy when I got home and realized I had captured some of this footage.

The Judith is a tributary of the Missouri in north-central Montana. Slightly north and west of Lewistown, and only about 15 miles outside of Winifred where we had the fly-in. We meant to spend the weekend flying the Missouri Breaks, but it was weathered in part of the time and once we found the Judith we were plenty happy.

Awesome. I was tilting the iPad along with leaning my head side to side. Haha

Re: Video: Judith River Flight

It was great to be able to watch that this morning since flying weather here in Butte is non-existent today. It is snowing and everything is white.
