    One of the most magical and mystical flight videos in existence today. It is an homage to air, light, motion, sound and landscape...those necessary elements for the love affair of...flying...and the remembrance, if never to fly again, that flight offered transcendence into the off world, the boundless world, the world of lived imagination not dreamed imagination...ahh, flight...timeless in deed and in memory...thanks, Tom

      thanks MSH - this was one of my first videos and yet - my most popular. I've made many vids since but none have had the hits like this one. Wonder what I could do to promote it as I think the hits are still low.

    Lancaster - the neat thing about this vid is I reduced the exposure setting on the camera so it read the exposure off the sky beautifully making the ground dark and/or eerie. Look through the vid again and you'll see the sun is above the horizon in all the scenes. FAR/AIM (10-2-2 Sec B 1 Para (g)) states Civil Twilight ends when the center of the sun is estimated at 6 degrees below the horizon. Therefore in this video, we are totally legal to be flying with time to spare. BTW - we landed at a private runway minutes after the last scene. I think the dark exposure of the ground raises your concern (due to the video exposure) but in reality, we had great lighting and had a fantastic experience that other pilots can legally and safely pursue.

    Tom, Truly Epic and Majestic. One of the best videos I've seen on T.P. If this video does not make someone want to fly WSC, nothing will. I hope this next year to trailer my trike around the U.S. and view such beautiful sights as this. Did a great job of keeping the other triker in view the whole time. Great vid Tom.

    How far can you go in one trip? Like Okanogan Wa to Spokane Wa? Or maybe down to Lewiston ID maybe? Also what speed do you normally fly at?

    • @ttabs
      @ttabs  2 роки тому +1

      All standard Q's. I carry 17 gal of mogas, burn less than 5 gal an hr, and cruise at about 75 mph. 250 mile range although I'll need to stop to pee before then ; ) Ceiling is 10K', 12K' if flying over terrain. Room for 2 passengers and I have a balistic chute - just in case something happens - what I don't know but it's there. I have a transponder in mine. All folds down and fits in an enclosed trailer if need be.

    Those areas in this video where you're flying over water, was that around the Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge? That whole region is so beautiful and I'd love to visit there the next time we travel to Washington. (BTW, I came across this video several months back and this is precisely the one that's convinced me to try ultralight trike flying... I never tire of watching this one.)

    I used a DRIFT HD170 camera. I'm now running 4 of them on my trike mounted using the 'RAM mount' system. This vid was easily edited using imovie but I've moved on now to Final Cut PRO. I have 10T of video storage on my mac.

I am going through your videos, and oh, they're so enjoyable, and peaceful! I am subscribing to you, and have put Trike FLYING on my bucket list. Thanks for the rides, and Happy Flying! :)

    Nice video but how about the part where you are illegally flying because of the time. Sure it looks nice but you are not in a plane, have no lights and if you are, have no business landing at any air field that has planes. Poor example for pilots.
