here's raw footage of my 1st video, friend shot it from a small / cheap camera but even without the hd quality its a start.

this flight is a flyby of the town of mammoth lakes, flyover of mammoth lakes basin and then an orbit around mammoth mountain ski area.

Looks great. I'd like to see more of these.

I wish Air Nav could link to a video like this for approaching airports. It would give a person a head up when going somewhere new.

Anyone know about the camera mount on the Quicksilver demo airplane at OSH. Looked like a movable turret

Convict Lake, across from the airport is one of the Nature Valley spots from the granoloa commercials.

How was that lake named?

The lake was named after an incident in 1871, where a group of convicts escaped from prison in Carson City. A posse, led by Sheriff Robert Morrison, encountered the convicts near the head of what is now Convict Creek. Morrison was killed in the encounter, and Mount Morrison was named after him. I think they hanged the convicts at the lake.
