Another video fromthe FlyingMAir YouTube channel.

Mr Bleu is gone and Wyrking Byrd is taking its place for cherry season. I went with a friend to pick it up on June 1 and we flew it back along the Snake River. I’ve turned that 2 hours of footage into a series of shorter videos. This is the first part.

Helicopter Cherry Drying Orientation Flight

Another video from the FlyingMAir YouTube channel.

This is a video of a typical orientation flight that I do with cherry drying pilots who come to work with me every summer. The main purpose of the flight is to show the pilot (Rick, in this case) where the orchards are and the kind of obstacles to look out for. He’s got my iPad with the outlines of the orchards in ForeFlight, as well as a book of maps. As I’m flying in this video, I’m pretty much focused on my task at hand, so there isn’t narration — just our cockpit chatter, which is mostly all business.

Helicopter Fuel Run / Camera Test

Another video from the FlyingMAir YouTube channel.

When I brought Wyrking Byrd to its summer home last week, I was too darn tired to make a fuel run before landing. With rain in the forecast and cherry season just a day away, I figured I’d better top it off, check out my camera setup — including a new camera mount — and try a new iPad mount. This is the footage I captured during this flight. It may come as no surprised to some of you that the audio camera didn’t capture intercom/cockpit audio so I wound up recording a narration track in the editing process. I hope you enjoy this!
