My entire August 2012 helicopter trip from Wenatchee WA to Hillsboro OR as seen from the nose of my helicopter just after dawn, set to music.
From the FlyingMAir YouTube channel, here’s all the video I shot on that great August 2012 flight. It’s the kind of video you’d put on the TV or a monitor when you just want to relax. Enjoy.
I leave the wildlife refuge for a comfy camping spot among the red rocks — and grab a shower along the way.
Day four of my trip saw me back on the road, this time traveling just about 100 miles. This video gives you a little background details about how I pack up to move out and shows you exactly what’s in the back seat area of my truck. (Spoiler alert; no one will be sitting there any time soon.) I also give you a look inside a truckstop shower — you may be surprised — and show you a fuel pump that has everything. Finally, a look at the reddest rocks you may ever see.

What would have been a very pleasant stay is ruined by cold weather.
I’ll let the video tell the story; it’s short and sweet and it includes footage of my dogs riding in a bicycle trailer. The short version is that it was too cold at night to stay more than two nights at this otherwise very pleasant, free campground.
I’m still welcoming comments on the video production. I know I need to collect more footage and I’m working on it for future videos. Little by little, I feel as if I’m getting the hang of it.
What I’m really pleased about is how well the ScreenFlow software I’m using to edit the video is working out. Not only is it easy enough to edit on my laptop — a low end MacBook Air — but it’s producing relatively small 4K video files. I think this will work well as a video editing solution and I might even switch back to it for my helicopter video work.
