Incredible Journey

Some of you may remember me and my camera at the 2010 Johnson Creek Fly In. Anyway, I am just now finishing up the travel film that was created from the video and stills. I have posted a trailer in my Vimeo Channel and the Film will be posted in chapters as well. I was not able to make the 2011 trip, but I certainly enjoyed the 2010 trip.

Hope you enjoy the film.

Re: Incredible Journey

Very nice. Can't wait for more. Except that it made it very apparent that it is going to be a long winter :evil: . I'm wishing it were May already!

Re: Incredible Journey

We were there for the BCP gathering in 2010 and really enjoyed the people and the great meal. We have to thank you again, because we had no idea that was going on and did not contribute to the food or beverages. Despite our lack of contribution and being RV drivers, it was a warm welcome and a great bunch of pilots. We enjoyed the stories and tales of aviation and hopefully we have contributed some stories ourselves. In fact, Chapter 3 below is about our shared time at Johnson creek. Thanks again for the nice comments, it makes the time spent in front of this computer feel worth while.

Re: Incredible Journey Chapter 4

As the weekend passed, we find we have Johnson Creek to ourselves. Many flights are made to the local area strips. We enjoy the camp fire music and witness a windy night that produces loud cracks that echo through the valley as large trees fall before the driving winds. We break camp at Johnson creek and head to Montana to spend some time at West Fork lodge. There we enjoy great food, great company, fly fishing and mountain flying.

Re: Incredible Journey

Here is chapter five "Go West" of Incredible Journey.

http://vimeo.com/channels/249046#31947018


Aggressor departs for Florida and now there are three. We head for the West Coast. We originally wanted to go to Friday harbor; However, rainy weather changes our plans. We take in a tour of the Vans factory and camp at the Gold Beach airport. We continue to work our way South to arrive at Columbia, California where we tour the old Gold rush town a short walk from the airport.

Many thanks for the encouraging comments.
