VIDEO: Some learned river running in Viet Nam & we learn it for fun.

[Dave Krall CFII]

It's not electric rock but it is well scored:

It is accompanied by the song track
"Tree Top
Flyer" by Stephen Stills. The airplane is a Van's RV-4.

Video (high speed connection preferred):
http://www.halcyon.com/carln/TTF.wmv Playback is improved
if it
downloaded first and then played.

Obligatory Warning: Only try this at home ... when at the
controls
of MS Flight Simulator! This pilot is very good and seems
to know
the route extremely well. The obvious hazards are wires,
trees,
snags, rocks and birds (and maybe an airplane coming the
other way!).

Enjoy!

Leave it to the modern day magic of combined visual and musical media along with the controls of a highly skilled pilot flying well ahead of the aircraft to turn the reality of an intense, high speed/low level, flying thrill quest into the lulling and potentially mind numbing appearance of a benign, even dreamily surrealistic and easily executed magic carpet ride!

It is totally a different experience when flown real time in the air just above the water and between those trees.
