Check Six!

Can you tighten up that new mount to where the lens takes pictures of
where you are going rather than swinging around bassakwards to where
you have been, Ron? :-)

Now, now, Bob.... one can ask only so much for the cheap little tripod socket on
a $70 video camera. It only takes ~2 threads of a 1/4-20 bolt before it bottoms
out; I add safety wire and a tad of hunert-mile-an-hour tape just to be on the
safe side. I make one flight with the camera pointing aft, the next with the
camera facing forward, another with the thing on the tail facing forward, etc.

That's how I did this video, with an earlier, lower-resolution camera:

WoW, Ron....

YOUTUBE!!!

I knew you'd be famous one day! ;-)

P.S
Does the stirring audio contain a subliminal
nautical message rather than AERO-nautical?

I have this uncontrollable urge to march
down to the sea in a sailing ship.

Might even try my hand at whaling.....

Self-famous, at least. :-)

Bob, Bob, Bob. Have you been to a nickelodeon in the past, oh, eighty years?
The motion pictures are in color now, and the music and the actor's words are
actually heard at the same time.

If you HAD...then you'd know that the music I used on that clip came from an
*airplane* film. It's tied to a scene where a Curtis P-40 Tomahawk...mind you,
a REAL P-40, not a model, not a cartoon, and not even computer-generated the way
the kids get so excited about...is slipping to land on a dirt road, and
subsequently taxis up to a gas station.

If you want to see a Fly Baby video with a nautical soundtrack, this is the one:

....although it should make you want to attack a Spanish galleon, not a hapless
cetacean.

Do you get more fuel in Spain with a Spanish galleon than in the USA with
the English galleon?

My DVD collection is totally of the great silent days.
Talkies and color are for you young chatty whippersnappers.
Distracts from the plot, ya know!

REALLY?
What movie would that be?

Couldn't be '1941'.
That John Belushi P-40 landed on a paved road and
then taxied to a gas station that was located ON DIRT.
Kinda' like I use to do in my Texass crop dusting days.

Hmmm.
Do Spanish galleons hold as much stuff as
Canadian and British Imperial Galleons?

not a hapless cetacean.

Humongous whales.... HAPPLESS?!?!?
Tell that to Hemingway, Spencer Tracy and the Old Man in the Sea.

You've never actually read "The Old Man And The Sea", have you? Because
besides the Old Man, there was a marlin and sharks, but no whales.

Wanna' tell me I have't seen the movie either?

For you, here's what I can do:

Humongous whales.... HAPPLESS?!?
Tell that to Captain Ahab of Moby-Dick fame.

Feel better now, party pooper? :-)

DVDs? That's at least two or three generations of technology too recent
for you, Unk.

Not a problem, Rich.
The kids and grand kids gladly handle these chores for me.

P.S.
No way will I let them near my Victrola/Gramaphone collection.
