Keith, I can see your silly grin on your face through the text on your post.

To take part in your favorite activity and call it a work product is everyone's summit of desire.

Good on you....


My jealous side is screaming YOU SUCK! lol

Parts of it were certainly enjoyable, but working with all that camera equipment on a tight schedule and with that heat was not as much fun as you'd think, but generally speaking, you're right. Any day you're above ground is a good one....and any day where you're a few thousand feet above the ground is that much better

The guy I was with threw in a cross country where I had zero nav equipment, another trip with a 69m ded reckoning leg, immediately followed by simulated engine failure from 5500ft all the way to a landing (he needed to change batteries on the cameras because the leg would've been too long otherwise and this was a natural way to break up the flight, even though I wasn't in on it), a bunch of grass operations and night operations in and out of a small non-towered field surrounded by water.

The video is designed to explore the envelope of VFR operations, so it wasn't all fun and games, but you're right, somehow it was still fun!

but working with all that camera equipment on a tight schedule and with that heat was not as much fun as you'd think, b

Which continues to prove the theory that as soon as you are being paid to fly you look for excuses not to.
