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!

Another video from the FlyingMAir YouTube channel.

After another deep dive into my raw footage archives, I found this short video I shot after fueling at the airport. It has in-cockpit narration, but there’s no helicopter sound because it was shot with just one camera. I left the airport but instead of flying straight back to base, I made a detour to overfly a friend’s house, so it’s a bit longer than the normal 3-4 minute flight.

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.
