I recently participated in the annual Soar-in at Lone Pine, CA, which
is hosted by Caracole Soaring every year over Memorial Day weekend.
After spectacular soaring weather and great flights, we punctuated the
weekend with a roller coaster ride from Mount Whitney peak, which is
the highest mountain in the contiguous United States at 14,505 FT. *I
shot a video of the ride and loaded it on YouTube for anyone that is
interested. It can be found at *http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjTmNJmJXbk

I did not spend any time editing the sound or content as you will
see. *I was really trying to play with HD exporting. *The video was
loaded in YouTube's new HD format. *If you have the bandwidth, *you
can click on the HD icon at the bottom right corner of the video
window. *The picture quality is much better in HD. Air brakes were
necessary to match the terrain slope without exceeding VNE, so you may
need to turn your volume down if the gear warning horn gets too
offensive.
