WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:06.200
and fade in everybody how you
doing coming to you from oh I
forget the name

00:06.200 --> 00:13.480
of this wonderful establishment
the Hotel Grey d'Albion in
Cannes the south of

00:13.480 --> 00:17.040
France this is your daily source
code video version so I'm not
actually going

00:17.040 --> 00:24.200
to give it a number I won't call
a DSC 621 it's late here it's
about 1130 and

00:24.200 --> 00:29.200
I made a critical mistake I
realized I recorded of course
our flight from

00:29.200 --> 00:34.520
Fair Oaks in the United Kingdom
all the way down to the south of
France on my

00:34.520 --> 00:40.000
wireless microphone setup which
I think recorded most of the
flight however it

00:40.000 --> 00:44.600
completely depleted both the 9
volt battery in the wireless
transmitter and

00:44.600 --> 00:49.440
9 volt battery in the wireless
receiver which I typically use
when I'm on the

00:49.440 --> 00:53.280
road I'll just you know plug
that into into cast blaster so I
get a pretty

00:53.280 --> 00:58.120
decent dynamic so I have no
microphone the only mic I have
really is the one

00:58.120 --> 01:01.000
that you're hearing me through
right now which I think you'll
agree is pretty

01:01.000 --> 01:03.800
crappy in fact just looking at
this video it has you know and
I'm in a

01:03.800 --> 01:09.840
hotel room it has a real porn
movie vibe to it don't you think
just need

01:09.840 --> 01:16.720
some really sad 70s porn music
playing underneath it anyway got
here around

01:16.720 --> 01:22.840
what time was it around 4
o'clock in the afternoon we left
probably around I

01:22.840 --> 01:28.040
don't remember now before noon
our total flight time was about
four and a

01:28.160 --> 01:32.160
half hours as was predicted we
knew we had a little bit of
headwind I have to

01:32.160 --> 01:37.520
say one of the most spectacular
flights I have ever made I've
never flown in

01:37.520 --> 01:42.600
mountain ranges and we went
right over a part of the Alps
and it's just

01:42.600 --> 01:46.200
beautiful because you're flying
over snow tops and then you know
half an

01:46.200 --> 01:50.720
hour later there you see the
Mediterranean Sea and you fly
right over

01:50.720 --> 01:55.000
the last mountain actually I
took some video of course I did
that on my

01:55.000 --> 02:00.880
wonderful Nokia e61i phone so
the quality is kind of what you
see is what you get

02:00.880 --> 02:05.760
not bad though I have to say
something very interesting
though the shutter

02:05.760 --> 02:11.920
speed of the camera is I guess
slow enough or in sync with the
with the

02:11.920 --> 02:15.760
speed of the propeller so you'll
actually see all these wavy
lines kind of

02:15.760 --> 02:21.560
sitting in front of the nose of
the aircraft which is the
propeller so let's

02:21.600 --> 02:26.960
take a look first at well we'll
see the propeller then we're
gonna go look down

02:26.960 --> 02:31.120
and you'll see the Alps and then
I'll swing back I can't do a
voiceover over

02:31.120 --> 02:34.640
the video obviously I'll swing
back over to the cockpit you'll
see that I'm at

02:34.640 --> 02:40.760
flight level 65 which is roughly
six and a half thousand feet
with about I'd

02:40.760 --> 02:45.640
say no more than 800 feet
separation from from the top of
the mountains it

02:45.640 --> 02:51.360
was quite exciting oh and you
also see my my brand new gadget
the the

02:51.360 --> 02:56.400
knee pad which is digital and
everything that's in red
basically at that level of

02:56.400 --> 03:00.680
flight I couldn't go over it so
you'll see there's quite a lot
of red on the

03:00.680 --> 03:03.720
screen here's the first clip

03:21.360 --> 03:45.000
I do want to point out that
thanks to wing commander William
my autopilot is

03:45.000 --> 03:49.080
working again so that really
made the trip a lot more
enjoyable for those of you

03:49.080 --> 03:55.520
who are interested we went right
to the to the to the west of
sorry get my

03:55.520 --> 03:59.160
bearing to the west of Paris and
it was such a beautiful day we
could actually

03:59.160 --> 04:03.320
see the Eiffel Tower off in the
distance that was that was quite
a treat and

04:03.320 --> 04:06.800
then because we were very close
to the Paris airfield we had to
go down low

04:06.800 --> 04:10.400
to about 1500 feet above sea
level which was really no more
than 500 feet

04:10.400 --> 04:14.520
above the deck and it was you
know beautiful just nothing but
farmlands

04:14.560 --> 04:19.480
and well as I said we got to the
Alps and here's a look down at
Grenoble you'll

04:19.480 --> 04:22.880
see we're going right over the
top of a peak and you'll see way
down the valley

04:22.880 --> 04:27.320
you'll see a town and that is
the town of Grenoble

04:44.520 --> 05:01.080
so there you saw it headed right
for a peak that was the last one
we had to hop

05:01.080 --> 05:05.840
over it seems that I like ending
up my shots in the cockpit
continuously for

05:05.840 --> 05:09.880
some reason sorry about that I
hope you don't mind it I know
it's super geeky

05:09.880 --> 05:13.720
but I've never done a trip like
this it was fantastic so you're
past all those

05:13.760 --> 05:18.760
Alps and then in the distance
there you see it the
Mediterranean Sea with just one

05:18.760 --> 05:22.080
more mountain range to cross

05:33.600 --> 05:39.280
so what you saw there on the
left was Khan and the approach
you make is you go

05:39.280 --> 05:43.480
over the mountain range you turn
left and it's a really funky
airport I wish I

05:43.480 --> 05:45.800
could show you some pictures
because then I could show you a
diagram they

05:45.800 --> 05:50.200
basically have a very long
runway which is meant for you
know for big fast jets

05:50.200 --> 05:55.320
which is the 1725 runway and
then you have a 05 which is very
short and kind

05:55.320 --> 06:00.280
of cuts off to the right so I
didn't film the entire approach
because besides

06:00.280 --> 06:05.600
it being a brand-new field and a
little bit you know any any new
field is

06:05.600 --> 06:11.440
hectic of course there's also
conditions to reckon with and we
had not a lot

06:11.440 --> 06:16.520
of wind but it was 10 knots
gusting 18 so your wind coming
from the crosswind from

06:16.520 --> 06:21.880
the side was basically doubling
every every couple of seconds or
so and so

06:21.880 --> 06:25.600
let's take a look at just a
little bit of the approach the
camera will swing

06:25.600 --> 06:29.640
left and that's where the
airport is as we're turning left
to make our final

06:29.640 --> 06:31.880
approach

06:41.760 --> 06:52.520
there you go so I'm here for the
Lions Festival it's the big
advertising

06:52.520 --> 06:58.240
