    Default Arizona, Kitfox, GoPro

    A couple videos from yesterdays short flight.

    75 degrees, 3mph breeze. Hope it warms you up a little if you're experiencing cold temps where you live.

    Natural sound (wind noise), with no music or cockpit recording.


    2nd video is longer and shows a flight from Thunder Ridge airpark to Glendale, AZ airport. Passed just north of Luke Air Force Base and had two F-16's with Thunderbird paint schemes on them fly right over me. You can see me rock my wings at them if you watch the whole video and also you will see Phoenix University Stadium on the left as we approach Glendale. It's the big silver "bedpan" shaped structure where this years NFL ProBowl and the Super Bowl will be played soon. http://www.universityofphoenixstadium.com/

    Also, just before landing at Glendale you will see Camelback Park slide under the Kitfox. This is the spring training home of the White Socks and the Dodgers. http://web.camelbackranchbaseball.com/index.jsp

    Great video.. I watched the first one 11 minutes. Did you see the goat, or some critter, standing on the ridge to the left about 4 minutes into the video?

    Cap01- yes the mount is the one that mounts on the strut bar and is available from Kitfox Aircraft. Yes the filter is on the GoPro.

    See link for write up on neutral density filters.

    Rv9ralph- that animal on the top of that little ridge is a man made metal burro that has been up there since I started flying the desert back in 1999.

    Really enjoyed the videos. This time of year I have to resort to watching these to get my fix as the weather here really makes it hard to get up in the air much. However it allows more time to build. Thanks for the fix.

    I enjoyed your videos so much that I mounted a gopro of my own and gave it a try. Excuse my Midwest accent.

    Very nice video, I liked visiting that area when one of my daughters lived in Maracopa.
