Just uploaded this 2-parter... sadly, it's all the video I have from my nearly 20 hours flying the "Airknocker" in southern California.

Great videos, Sean!!  Thanks for taking us along for the ride!!

If you were out there now I don't think you would be doing much flying!!  :(

On the second video when you were on your final what was that thing the was coming across the runway?  It was hard to tell with the sunglare.

True 'dat; the smoke would be a problem... not to mention the swarms of aircraft either montoring or fighting the fires...  :o

It was a banner... the tow aircraft towing it doesn't really show up on the video.
He was crossing 26R to make a tight turn downwind at the end of 26L (which is much shorter); he dropped the banner on the "grass" alongside 26L as I was on short final.

Oops- yeas, I'd forgotten about SimTeevee.
I just went to register now.
But it seems I can register, but not log in using those credentials... maybe it needs more time?

And is SimTeevee really appropriate for RL flight videos? I only see three there.
