A “nosecam” video from the FlyingMAir YouTube channel.
This is the third of several videos I’m releasing from a flight with a friend from the Wenatchee, WA, area to Twisp, WA and back. In this video, Cyndi and I depart her home on Wenatchee Heights and head almost due north to Twisp, WA. Although it starts with a cockpit view with viewers looking over our shoulders, I quickly switch to the nosecam. I also cut cockpit audio in favor of a narration added during editing. There’s some great scenery along the way: the Columbia River, Wenatchee, East Wenatchee, the Rocky Reach Dam, the Entiat River, a hanging valley, Lake Chelan, Manson, the Methow River and Valley, and finally Twisp.
I’ll probably release one or two more videos from this day of flying. Subscribe now and turn on Notifications so you don’t miss them!

Well, your nose cam reveals a very different world to mine.
Here, in the UK, I recorded 140mm (6 inches) of rain last month. That is more than half a year’s worth to you (WSU data).
We exist in radically different environments. The trees you are contracted to dry are planted in arid ground, kept alive by precisely controlled irrigation regimes. Our land is green all year round because of rainfall typically within 650-750 mm. We worry about floods and ground too wet to plant, your growers worry about drought, irrigation balancing and polluted run-off.
That said, I would sooner eat your Washington cherries than those available to me from the UK. But now the Turkish cherries are a close competitor with fewer air miles…
