I know you guys are gonna love this. It's a video I shot a couple of months ago and did a quick edit (by no means professional).
Repositioning flight from Van Nuys to Long Beach on a Gulfstream IV. It gives you a pretty good idea of what's going on in a jet and you'll
also be able to see all the instruments you are familiar with like TCAS, FMC, etc..
Keep in mind that I had to shrink this video to a minimum (and it's still 33MB!) so that you could download it from my slow DSL
connection. Because of this, the quality is not impressive but still kinda acceptable. The camera I used at the time was just about to fail
on me and in fact I had to cut out many very bad parts. It doesn't have stabilization and it's very slow in changing the aperture, resulting in
some washed out images. Well, it's a miracle I was able to tape this much! The day after I went to buy a new camera and trashed the old
one.
Please, if you see that your download is extremely slow (below 10kbs), quit right away and come back later. We will need to take turns on
this otherwise nobody will be able to download it at all!
