First commentor. Also a first for me; I've never seen this 51 before and I keep up with airshow videos, etc. Beautiful paint job. Simple but yet sending a statement. Good for her.
@@patrickshaw8595 it IS Clay Lacy’s original air racer! They restored it at Fighter Rebuilders a few years back. She was pretty solid though, and still had the original fuel bladders with a date code that matched the airplane’s manufacture.
The announcer went to the trouble to explain how Ross was an instructor on Tutors, specifically mentions it's the same plane the Snowbirds fly, but buries the lead by neglecting to mention that Ross himself was Snowbird #2 for two seasons in the 90's...
He did. I didn't record everything because I was positioned beside the pit and I would lose complete sight of planes because of temporary buildings for the event. They skipped the paid viewing area this year and had a much larger area for sponsors only. 0:36 They put a few static displays next to it as well, so 100 feet of viewing area was gone. They also weren't enforcing the no umbrellas rule for the sponsors and family as well. Lost of bunch of shots because of an idiot with a massive beach umbrella.
This is a type that has always appealed to me though I don't know why. It was old when it was designed but doesn't look dated alongside things like Cessnas and Pipers. Could be why I love it.
Show is July 13, 2024 | Gates open at 11am | Starts at 12pm | FREE There are free rides to the Airport from Ladner Exchange (School buses). They drive you back after the show as well, for free. First Airshow footage will be on Sunday or Monday.
I won't be filming Sea planes or choppers anymore. I just did it to practice tracking things in the air and testing tripods, lenses and camera settings. I'll do local airshows and that's about it.
This will be the last of my Helijet videos until they get the new ALIA VTOL. I'll do a few videos of that and that's it. I'm more interested in filming nature stuff. I'll do local Airshows only.
The Caravan always makes me think the designers forgot how long it was supposed to be and the Grand Caravan even more so. Certainly doesn't have the pleasant lines of the Beaver or Otter.
It got really stupid. There was about 20+ people that surrounded it and then it turned into a competition of who could get the closest and scare it the most for the reactions. 2 mothers with 3 kids then start throwing rocks and sticks . Then a couple with a dog showed up, saw the seal react to the dog, so they moved the dog closer. I just unleashed on them and told them to get the F away away from it. Usual crowd. Mostly Chinese tourists. Same ones who got fences put up in Banff turning it into a virtual zoo.
