interesting video of a takeoff and landing

Had a good amount of crosswind, but the landing wasn't as good as I
would have wanted. Oh well, guess it's and excuse to go flying again
for more practice. :-)

Here's another video that my friend took when I first arrived at the
airport.

Enough of tooting my own horn, here's one of a couple of T-6's that
took off after I landed. Make sure you turn your speakers up to get
the real feeling of those big radial engines.

So you noticed that....

I turned short final and was high. Even though I pulled the throttle
early, I had to loose a lot of altitude and the speed was still fast
over the numbers.

tetrahedran very rarely points into the trees at this airport, and
winds become very squirrely from the down draft over the trees. It's
hard to see in the video that was posted, but the windsock was showing
a quartering headwind of 45 - 60 degrees off of the runway heading.
