MMRCA - Cub-Scout Fly-In - August 17, 2002

Photos and commentary by Andy Steere.

Every year, Carl Johnson puts on a show for some local cub scouts. It is August 17, 2002 and this is the 2002 Cub Scout Fly-In. Weather is warm and breezy. Matter of fact, after lunch it was very windy! Wind died off after everybody left... of course!

MOVIE CLIPS

(Choose a format to view by clicking on one of the two links provided. The native format for the video camera (Olympus C-700UZ) is Apple Quicktime MOV. This version will produce the best picture and sound possible, but the file sizes are large. The Microsoft AVI files were converted using Lead Multimedia Converter and while much smaller... their image quality suffers (a lot on some movies, very little on others). If you have trouble viewing these by directly clicking on the link, try right-clicking on the link, choose save to disk, and play the video ouside the browser. The MOV files require Apple Quicktime player or plugin, and the AVI files require Microsoft Windows Media Player or similar. The AVI files are converted using an Indeo video codec, if you have trouble viewing the video.)

Nice slow pass.

Landing the F-15.

Jeff Buchner, a great pattern pilot in his own right, braves the 25mph wind to have fun with his trainer. You can probably turn off the sound on all three of these... the wind overpowers about everything.
320x240 - 15 seconds - (AVI 0.8MB) (MOV 3.9MB)

Inverted, and at near zero ground speed. Cool.
