  1. Of Clouds and Glory (with video!)

    January 16, 2006 by Gail

    The house is getting appraised this week, so I’ve been busy trying to put things in better order. I have piles and stacks that demand attention.

    In the meantime, I was looking through the flying videos and realised I’d uploaded a videoclip of the Tri-Pacer’s shadow, referred to as “glory”, to Youtube.com and it’s not hosted in any posts. Here’s what a glory looks like:

    The photos are from a flight in December 5, 2004. Original post:
    A Day For the Windmills

    This video was taken, I believe, on October 31, 2004. Original post:
    Dave’s Logbook – Of Clouds and Glory

    You have to watch closely, the glory is only visible in the first few seconds of the videoclip.

    No music in this one, just a very loud propeller! I became so accustomed to the prop sound it was like a mechanical lullaby; I’d nearly be asleep by the time we reached 8,000 ft.
