thx for the feedback! I don't see what aspect of the flight is being presented as potentially illegal. For what it's worth, the visibility was 2.5 miles at VNY and ceiling was 1300 AGL. In fact, I further go to explain that he is legal when flying as low as he is. Besides, my understanding is...

Interesting. thx for posting this.

I wanted to better understand what possibly happened on this flight. Plus I've had multiple non-pilot friends asking about went wrong. I decided to download the KML data from Flight Radar 24 and build a flight path animation in Google Earth Studio. I then pulled in ATC audio and weather data...

I saw that too. It's right next to Griffith Park. Maybe they were looking at the Hollywood sign. That said, it was a pretty lousy day to be out sightseeing. Low viz and low clouds.

What is in that circled area? Camarillo is further west of there.

Wow. Terrible. I saw on Flightaware that he was at Camarillo yesterday the same time I was, so I reviewed my camera footage and sure enough I taxied right past his helicopter. This was around noon yesterday.

It wasn't so much a challenge as an observation, but I'm curious as to your results :) I've got a 2019 iMac 27" i9 8 core, Radeon Vega 48 GFX, 64 GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB internal SSD. Media is on an external Caldigit USB 3.0 Raid 0 HDD drive (which is now currently the slowest component in the setup)

First test...no. I just reduced scale and checkered them across a 1080-sized sequence. I just tried 2nd test...15 clips in multicam view, switching between cams, slightly steppy at full resolution after about 10 seconds. Dropped it down to half res and it was perfect. Playing back on a 5K...

Just an update to this...I played back 15 layers of 2.7K (that's what I usually shoot) gopro mp4 at full quality with color correction on all layers and the imac i9 didn't even blink, the fan didn't kick on and still butter smooth scrubbing on the timeline. Sweeeeet.

Does night current count? Hopefully I can find the time in the next two weeks.

Yup. That'll do it. I haven't tried that with my new setup yet but I would expect similar results, at least with my current USB 3.0 RAID drive. My next purchase might be the OWC Thunderblade external SSD. 2800 MB/s transfer speeds :eek:

Did the Grumman Tigers win? (I don't follow college sports)

Haha. That's chump change for you. You own an airplane. You must love to burn money!! Seriously...I was working on my 9 year old mac at home before that. I milked that baby for all it was worth, and then some. Besides, those Apple commercials are so cool...how could I resist the shiny elegance! LOL

The first Mac-attack has already come! haha. To each their own. No computer is full proof from having issues. I'm not trying to start a PC v Mac war. Use what works for you. I'm just offering up my opinion based on my experience. I do this stuff for a living and Macs have been reliable. Most...

Alrighty Bryan, I have to weigh in on this. I'm a video editor for a living and I also literally just upgraded to a new edit suite for my home setup last week. If you don't follow my advice, you are just flat out wrong! hahaha. Glad to hear you are using Premiere. As others have said, Resolve...

15 knots too low, I’d call that a fairly significant discrepancy.

As far as El Paso area, I stopped at KDNA, just west of El Paso when passing thru the area. Easy in/out with hotels an easy uber ride away.

When it's nice and cold up there, two people in my Tiger with fully topped off tanks is easy peasy. Summer with 10K DA...that gets a bit more interesting :)
