Last weekend my friend and classmate Jon invited me to come along  and sit in the back for his first lesson in the Cessna 210.  The 210 is quite a step up from the trainers we fly.  It is much more powerful and complex and has retractable landing gear.  It is very similar to the planes usually flown in missions.  It was a special treat to get to sit in the back and watch.  Eventually in the future I will be needing to get time in a similar type of airplane so it was nice to get a small taste of what goes on in there.  Here’s a little video I put together of the flight.

My classmate Ryan has a supercub that his dad let him borrow for the summer.  It is a good setup because he is working on his commercial license and trying to build time.  He likes to get out there early in the morning before class on those beautiful calm clear mornings.  One morning I showed up early and got some pictures and video.  Have a look.

Here’s something a little different.  A couple guys at my school have these little remote control cars.  So we strapped a video camera on one.   The video ends with the car smacking into a wall and the picture going fuzzy.  The camera went out of focus but it was allright later.
