Video: Super Cub Flight Near Tahoe

Here is video taken once again from the camera on-board the Super Cub. I’m flying out front of my folks’ house this time in the Carson valley. (See the previous flight and crash from behind the house)

I’ve been flying a little more recklessly of late, hence all the crashes… Today I was trying to fly a little slower and use the wind to “hover” but the wind left me high and dry with too little altitude to recover. The plane fell out of view near a neighbor’s house so all in all I’m lucky to have avoided more damage.

It’s too bad I didn’t have more free memory on the camera because immediately after this crash I nosed it in the dirt which was by far the worst crash the Cub has seen… never fear though, the Cub sustained only superficial damage and lives on to fly another day.

    That’s like an out of control video game. Where’s the bullets and blood? Maybe you could put sound over from a dog fight movie where the plane is getting shot.

    u shud throw some music on these videos. It might make me wanna watch the whole video… I find myself fast forwarding to the crashes ;.)

    Oh yea, that reminds me… you have a top 10 crashes vid yet? this one is in there for sure… cool to see the shadow of the plane comin in at high speed on the ground before it crashes.
