Default Winter flying in Iowa Videos

Seemed like a decent oleo workout.

You also demonstrated why I avoid handheld video for landings. No matter how
smooth the greaser, the camera always shakes way out of proportion to the
event.


Actually, Mary *did* get a bit slow on short final. She was trying
touch down with as little forward speed as possible, lest we slip on
the ice, and plopped it a bit.

Perfectly acceptable, just not a "greaser".

Personally, I'm AMAZED at the good quality of the video I get from
little Canon Elph still camera. Yes, it's hard to hold still, but
I've *always* got it with me, which means I can take video of my kids
(and flying) a lot more often.
