That looks like a bunch to me.

Wow.

Somehow I don't see an F-35 compiling such a record. Canada just quit on that btw.

Gravdigr · 11-26-2016, 10:12 PM

I thought I read something to that effect.

It may be ground scanning radar, but I think it's the holding tank for the bathroom and kitchen.

When we were in Virginia Beach, a couple of Osprey out of NAS Oceana came hot-assing by our fifth floor hotel balcony, maybe 1/8 mile away, and not much higher above the surrounding buildings near the beach. It was pretty damn impressive.

I understand they are quite loud. True?

hey guys, been a while. Just this last September I was granted my 1st class medical which means I can finally fly for compensation. Regardless of that though, @1:31 is one of the many reasons I love to do what I do. This is my first trip finally wearing the uniform and starting to sell my services as a commercial jet jockey. Unfortunately I did not get paid money for this trip, and likely won't for many to come, but rather logged the flight time to increase my appeal to the part 135 operators as the minimum flight time for 135 operations is anywhere between 1000 to 1500 hours total time now - depending on the carrier.

IFR flight from Sugar Land to Dallas Love Field

the return trip on the day after the above:

yes, breaking through the clouds and flying along skimming the tops of the clouds is one of my favorite things while flying and the going dark is me editing the video so that's a splice break and the beep is an alert to 1000 feet to go for pre-select on the altitude - in the case here, FL240. On the trip back to Houston the next day we filed and flew at FL250 - anything higher on a trip this short would have been moot as it only takes roughly 40~45 minutes wheels up to wheels down
