Default Never take someone flying...
...that has a camcorder and a Youtube account!

Here is Pete Howell arriving in Mason City this afternoon.

For the record, I cut this together with absolutely no permission from the guy who let me in the right seat today with my camera!

Wow (I'm being restrained and polite for an Australian). That looks blo*dy cold (and flat). Never seen so much snow, not on a mountain.

G'Day Mate. That looks like a warm day to me.

Nice landing! I don;t know Pete, but he can chew gum and land a plane at the same time. A talented guy.

Default More Pete:
As long as we're on the subject, here's Pete landing at the MN VAF picnic in September... He's not too proud of this one, but he hasn't asked me to go fly in a long time so...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SK2JGEQnv8

Here he is taking off....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yp0Xls3lqMY

And landing again back at ANE one evening in August...

Default Oh Boy!
That first one was my VERY short field technique. (VERY abrupt, too) It was even worse from the cockpit. The absolute worst part is Kate was with me and her only comment was "REAL NICE, Dad" In a very unflattering tone.

I will say that I used FAR less runway than anyone else that day.

Oh well, not many guys are lucky enough to have 2 seriously talented camera guys among their flying friends. There will be more to come.

Note to self - Invite Forrest to go flying........

Remember Pete: Forrest and I are ALWAYS watching...which means everyone else will be too!

Don't worry, we'll get some fun landing videos of Forrest as soon as he finishes his -9!

Default Pete - Stall
I'd love to see a stall from the cockpit - just to see what the 9 and 10 stall like.

Thanks,

Bob

Default Hi Bob
We can do that. It is a complete non-event in the -9A. My 10 yr old daughter requests stalls when we go flying. The AOA starts beeping and then the nose bobs up and down as you fly in and out of the stall. You just mush along - just need to watch it b/c you are sinking pretty good.

If the wx warms up and clears we'll get some stalls, and other stuff.

Forrest, perhaps for landing technique enlightenment purposes, you could find the clip you took of my landing at that picnic... Only problem is, I'm not sure what I did - maybe I kept my eyes closed?
