1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,200
and fade in everybody how you doing coming to you from oh I forget the name

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:13,480
of this wonderful establishment the Hotel Grey d'Albion in Cannes the south of

3
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,040
France this is your daily source code video version so I'm not actually going

4
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:24,200
to give it a number I won't call a DSC 621 it's late here it's about 1130 and

5
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:29,200
I made a critical mistake I realized I recorded of course our flight from

6
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:34,520
Fair Oaks in the United Kingdom all the way down to the south of France on my

7
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:40,000
wireless microphone setup which I think recorded most of the flight however it

8
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,600
completely depleted both the 9 volt battery in the wireless transmitter and

9
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:49,440
9 volt battery in the wireless receiver which I typically use when I'm on the

10
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,280
road I'll just you know plug that into into cast blaster so I get a pretty

11
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:58,120
decent dynamic so I have no microphone the only mic I have really is the one

12
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,000
that you're hearing me through right now which I think you'll agree is pretty

13
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,800
crappy in fact just looking at this video it has you know and I'm in a

14
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:09,840
hotel room it has a real porn movie vibe to it don't you think just need

15
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:16,720
some really sad 70s porn music playing underneath it anyway got here around

16
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:22,840
what time was it around 4 o'clock in the afternoon we left probably around I

17
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:28,040
don't remember now before noon our total flight time was about four and a

18
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,160
half hours as was predicted we knew we had a little bit of headwind I have to

19
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:37,520
say one of the most spectacular flights I have ever made I've never flown in

20
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:42,600
mountain ranges and we went right over a part of the Alps and it's just

21
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,200
beautiful because you're flying over snow tops and then you know half an

22
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,720
hour later there you see the Mediterranean Sea and you fly right over

23
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:55,000
the last mountain actually I took some video of course I did that on my

24
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,880
wonderful Nokia e61i phone so the quality is kind of what you see is what you get

25
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,760
not bad though I have to say something very interesting though the shutter

26
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:11,920
speed of the camera is I guess slow enough or in sync with the with the

27
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:15,760
speed of the propeller so you'll actually see all these wavy lines kind of

28
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:21,560
sitting in front of the nose of the aircraft which is the propeller so let's

29
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,960
take a look first at well we'll see the propeller then we're gonna go look down

30
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,120
and you'll see the Alps and then I'll swing back I can't do a voiceover over

31
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,640
the video obviously I'll swing back over to the cockpit you'll see that I'm at

32
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:40,760
flight level 65 which is roughly six and a half thousand feet with about I'd

33
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:45,640
say no more than 800 feet separation from from the top of the mountains it

34
00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:51,360
was quite exciting oh and you also see my my brand new gadget the the

35
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:56,400
knee pad which is digital and everything that's in red basically at that level of

36
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,680
flight I couldn't go over it so you'll see there's quite a lot of red on the

37
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,720
screen here's the first clip

38
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:45,000
I do want to point out that thanks to wing commander William my autopilot is

39
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,080
working again so that really made the trip a lot more enjoyable for those of you

40
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:55,520
who are interested we went right to the to the to the west of sorry get my

41
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,160
bearing to the west of Paris and it was such a beautiful day we could actually

42
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,320
see the Eiffel Tower off in the distance that was that was quite a treat and

43
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,800
then because we were very close to the Paris airfield we had to go down low

44
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,400
to about 1500 feet above sea level which was really no more than 500 feet

45
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,520
above the deck and it was you know beautiful just nothing but farmlands

46
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,480
and well as I said we got to the Alps and here's a look down at Grenoble you'll

47
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,880
see we're going right over the top of a peak and you'll see way down the valley

48
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,320
you'll see a town and that is the town of Grenoble

49
00:04:44,520 --> 00:05:01,080
so there you saw it headed right for a peak that was the last one we had to hop

50
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,840
over it seems that I like ending up my shots in the cockpit continuously for

51
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:09,880
some reason sorry about that I hope you don't mind it I know it's super geeky

52
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,720
but I've never done a trip like this it was fantastic so you're past all those

53
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:18,760
Alps and then in the distance there you see it the Mediterranean Sea with just one

54
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,080
more mountain range to cross

55
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:39,280
so what you saw there on the left was Khan and the approach you make is you go

56
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:43,480
over the mountain range you turn left and it's a really funky airport I wish I

57
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,800
could show you some pictures because then I could show you a diagram they

58
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,200
basically have a very long runway which is meant for you know for big fast jets

59
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:55,320
which is the 1725 runway and then you have a 05 which is very short and kind

60
00:05:55,320 --> 00:06:00,280
of cuts off to the right so I didn't film the entire approach because besides

61
00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:05,600
it being a brand-new field and a little bit you know any any new field is

62
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:11,440
hectic of course there's also conditions to reckon with and we had not a lot

63
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:16,520
of wind but it was 10 knots gusting 18 so your wind coming from the crosswind from

64
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:21,880
the side was basically doubling every every couple of seconds or so and so

65
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,600
let's take a look at just a little bit of the approach the camera will swing

66
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,640
left and that's where the airport is as we're turning left to make our final

67
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,880
approach

68
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:52,520
there you go so I'm here for the Lions Festival it's the big advertising

69
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:58,240
