You know what? I don’t really mind winter coming on, because I need all this indoor time to go through the crazy gigabytes of photos and video I shot over the summer. Spring and summer were a complete BLUR, and if I leave everything sitting on my drives I won’t remember anything I did.
Here, for example, is a short clip of the flight I took in the Beech D18S Expeditor at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum the third week of August. I flew in a variety of aircraft this year, but of all the rides this one was my favourite. We banked so steeply and quickly that I had to fight the G-force to keep my camera hand up to shoot this video!
I flew in the DC-3 Dakota in July for the second time and it was still loads of fun, but this was my first time in the Beech and it was even BETTER! I don’t know if it’s customary for the Beech pilots to do that many dips and turns for member rides, but we were airborne for a generously long period of time compared to other flights I’ve taken at the museum. The pilots were thoroughly enjoying themselves, too, despite the incredible heat and humidity that day.
