Beautiful scenery, Rob (except for the two apes)-- what's that mountain in the background?
That open country is a nice contrast to the timberlands west of the Cascades.

See the wierd 'ky6LC6jGbtQ' code? That's all you need to put inside the youtube brackets. Took me a few tries to figure it out myself

AWESOME. Enough said.

Here is the full landing:

Helped a friend fly a Stinson 108 from Everitt field (CO) to Zuehl frield (TX) a few weeks ago. Fun cross country.

Cool video, Matt. I really enjoy your stuff.

Did you ever figure out a good way to mount the ND filter on your HD170? I just got the RageCams hood, and I have ordered some ND sheets on Amazon. I think I'm going to try Pokette's method of cutting a circle out in the size of the lens hood. In the meantime, however, I was wondering if anyone had a good way to temporarily secure the smaller little ND circle that RageCams provides with the hood? It is only the size of the camera lens, and I'm not too thrilled with my scotch tape job so far.

Thanks for sharing. I didn't know there had been a Stinson up at Everitt.

Nice videos Matt, Diana, and RanchPilot.

RP, who was the artist for the soundtrack on the video?

Atticus Ross. Song is called Panoramic. Was on the soundtrack for the film Book of Eli.

Post-apocalyptic stuff. Seemed fitting, as those piles of sand will be there long after we're gone!

Excellent choice.

Thanks. The song was running through my head the whole time I was flying down between the dunes. Couldn't wait to get home and lay it over the video to see how they went together.

Just some pics. Nice to see some sunshine.

I had to go check out another solar job about 60 miles away, and did a little playing on the Palisades Res and the Snake River on the way: The Res., coming out of the canyon to the east, loosing elevation quick once clear of the mountains.
A great place for practicing water ski landings onto dry ground, the old highway before the lake was created, it's in amazing shape, even still has the centerline in places.

Getting closer to my customers place, he advised me via the cell phone that he had a neighbor with a 2K' long grass strip about 1/4 mile away, bummer, as I was looking forward to scouting a new landing area closer to his house. I told him I'd land at the neighbors if I had to and he was cool with that (a retired military guy with some background in risky business so he had no problems with my little airplane ) I was able to sure enough land right in front of the house, that made my day as his pasture is very similar to my home strip.
