I was so completely enthralled by the visual effect of soaring the Mt
Washington wave area on the weekend of October 9th, I bought another
video cam in the hopes of being able to capture some of it the
following (and final) weekend of our annual wave camp. =A0I lucked out
-- mother nature was good to us this year.

This is a ten minute cockpit video showing take off from Gorham
airport in one of its calmer moods, then ridge soaring several miles
along the Moria Carter range to the area of the Mt Washington primary
and finally initial contact with the wave.

Wind at the ridge top of the Carters is too strong for normal ridge
soaring, hence respectful distance from rocks & trees and speed
appropriate to heavy turbulence.

This was shot with the Hero HD in 960p mode, edited in iMovie. =A0In
full resolution, the video quality is excellent. =A0Sharing that will
require a little more bandwidth here, which I understand is to happen
soon.

Is it just me? At about 3:55 into the video I head a quick "bleep" and
the video freezes for the rest of the time. I see this at a couple
different resolutions.

Nice video up to that point though.
