long beach flight, march 2007

My first video post!

I registered at Youtube and thought I might as well upload this. I took this video on a Cessna flight with Rocky back in March. It shows the takeoff and a few minutes thereafter. As you can see it was pretty hazy that day, so we didn't go anywhere -- just did three takeoffs and landings and circled around the airport. There's no narration and the only sound you'll hear is the engine.

You can't tell in the video, but I grew increasingly uncomfortable after takeoff and was freaking out by the time I shut off the camera. We hadn't flown for several months, and I wasn't used to the dips and fluctuations that small planes tend to have. I didn't get used to it again until after the third takeoff we did that day.
