Default 3 Ship Acro

Well, since I got a new camera for Christmas I couldn't go flying without using it a little. As usual, all my friends on this forum have to sit through another home movie if they so desire.

It's a 9 minute video of some 3 ship acro over Lake Altoona, NW of Atlanta. The waters brown, the skies cloudy, but the fun we had.

I got a GoPro HD camera. This was shot is SD to use the wide angle lens instead of the 127 degree HD part.

All in all, I like the camera. No audio input so no air to air comm. Now comes the fun part. Learning how to edit.

Oh, and we had a blast doing formation acro..

Happy New Year to All.

I was in the house listening to you guys chat it up while doing your practice. I wanted to get out to the airport but by the time I did I pulled the airplane out and it started sleeting.

Great video.

Arguing on the internet is like having a competition to see who can hit a brick wall the hardest. You may win, but you're still an idiot.

Default Three of my favorite RVers

Widget, Kahuna and SuBob

Doing three of my favorite things. 1) Flying 2) Formation 3) Acro ...Put them all together and it looks like too much fun.

It just sucks that Georgia is so darned far away....even by RV.

Nice flying.

Tim

Nice job "Widget", I wonder if I had an ulterior motive when I bought my son a Contour HD helmet cam for Christmas to use for snowboarding. Now if we could get "Greese" to lead us thru some aerobatics like that it would be great!
Happy New Year!

Nice! Glad you guys do it right too.. plenty of altitude and no buzzing the population. Thanks!

oh...isn't ACROBATICS what clowns do, and AEROBATICS what pilots do? Just a thought
