    Wonderful! I can’t think of any better utility for the Aeronca.

    A delightful video, I wonder if anybody aboard the train looked up, saw the Aeronca and wondered if they had slipped back in time.

      @@SimonAmazingClarke The film footage doesn’t really portray how close I was to the train, I estimate I was no more than 800’ from it. Due to using the auto stabilisation of the GoPro 10, I have to use the footage without zooming in at all, which tends to make the picture look more distant.

      I did mess around with zooming in but it didn’t appear to improve the overall film. The real experience of flying along next to the steam engine was a million times better than the film could ever portray. Thoroughly recommended 🙂
