I uploaded it to YouTube directly from the iPhone... amazing. Below is a link to this short video of fall colors on Buffalo's south side. I was up quite high at about 2,400' msl and the ground here is about 700' so not much detail. As you will note it was mid-day bumpy. I apologize for the format. This is the first iPhone video I've taken and did not know that I could not change it to landscape after taking it in portrait. It is REALLY tall and skinny. Next time, I'll know. Also, to make the upload faster, I restricted it to "medium" resolution which is about 1/3rd the size of the high resolution. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvXn_wOowAU&feature=player_embedded Thom, the video novice -------- Thom Riddle Buffalo, NY (9G0) Kolb Slingshot SS-021 Jabiru 2200A #1574 Tennessee Prop 64x32 Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.

Possum used to post some good clips of unique flights in his airplane. I'm probably in the minority here, but that is the way I like to fly - make the Kolb work. Looking out the window of my 5th wheel sitting in Larry Cottrell's front yard, I am straining to see the Fall colors. No luck. Nothing to color but the sage brush. However, the cottonwoods down by the Owyhee River and any other water source in SE Oregon will show some color soon. john h mkIII Rock House, OR That was a lot more than I expected out of a phone like that.

Beauford flies out of Airport Manatee (48X), as did I until a couple of years ago, and now fly out of Venice (KVNC). We have others from the Kolb list in or near the region.... some year round and some snow birds.
