Nice video Harless! Lots of woods around your area make it a great view.
Now if you can tilt the camera a little bit upwards it will improve your superb landing views!
If your plane has a drop wing tip, the sticker base that comes with the Gopro camera holds very strong on it and you could mount it from bellow and show you flying the plane Just some ideas

http://youtu.be/GrA1ftQfSFo Thanks Ricardo,, I'll let the camera look up a little more when I'm doing takeoffs and landings next time..
Letting the camera see me , I don't think it will work anyhere close to what yours does because I have to bend my head sown to see under the wing and the struts are in the way too..
This video is my favorite place to fish...

This is a little off topic but it is a closer look at the Guest River.. It's more dangerous than flying..

There was a day I would have tried your river but I've reached that age where I gave my Kayak to the next generation. Unfortunately when they tried it they could only paddle in circles. (chuckle, chuckle). Some things aren't as easy as they seem. Are you still kayaking ??
The river looks like it would be interesting to run............
DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT GROWING OLDER, IT'S A PRIVILEGE DENIED TO MANY.

I've only kayaked twice and that was in a lake. I do plan on kayaking the Clinch river and fish someday. I have a sister that kayaks a lot but she don't do white water..

All that's missing from your vid is a sound bite with the flight attendant doing a rush trash collection and the voice demanding your tray table be up and locked, and your seat back be returned to the upright position.

i dont mind a river that is mildly aggressive....basically a lower class rapids. but nothing like the cheat river or along that lines....not at this stage in life. like gary were i 20 years younger....probably. i have a recreational kayak and like to do lazy rivers where i can fish and camp out. my wife decided she want to kayak ( this ought to be interesting )...so i just got an inflatable 2 person intex challenger. it is cheap and easy to transport. IF she really gets into it i will go for a hard shell yak. just wish this inflatable was lighter and smaller so it could fit inside the max. would be nice to fly up to some of the lakes and camp out and paddle around. maybe i can inflate it...strap it underneath and land on the lake...lol
You don't need to know anything about flying inorder to pilot a plane. You do need to know something about flying fly inorder to pilot a plane twice!

oh boy!.... there are not too many activities that I enjoy more than flying... but you gentlemen are speaking my language .... a few pics from days (years) past ... In fact, I am dusting off my gear and paddling a section of the Salmon River tomorrow...
Why focus on proving how great you are, when you could focus on becoming better?...
