Guest Howard Hughes Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 A landing at Lord Howe Island just after first light!

Guest Howard Hughes Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 It was worth the O-dark thirty wake up and the 90 minutes of absolute blackness!
Guest Howard Hughes Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 B350 as in my avatar! Cheers, Mark.
motzartmerv Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 That's one sweet ride HH. Gime that over any big shiny jet .:) 1
Kyle Communications Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 I didnt think there was too many private flights into Lord Howe? Are you doing aeromedical or something?
Kyle Communications Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 That explains it....thought I saw a ambulance on the tarmac....actually had a customer in here last week who is a FO for Virgin he was telling me he is sick of driving buses and wants to get a job flying for the RFDS...it would be a great job plenty of variety and lots of different airfields and some really tricky situations. Would be one of the best jobs for sure 1
BruceScott Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Yes RFDS (NSW Air Ambulance). Hi Mark Do you ever get to fly into Deniliquin, if so let me know and I will come out and say g'day Cheers Bruce I will pm phone number if you are ever about
Guest Howard Hughes Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 I occasionally get to Denny! Our visits are usually less than half an hour, but I'd be up for a quick gidday! Cheers, Mark.
Gnarly Gnu Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Lord Howe was an ancestor...? Sweet view indeed, the early morning light kinda made me feel sleepy. When I saw the runway arrows were pointing in the opposite direction I was surprised but then realised they were indicating the threshold and you hadn't come in the wrong way.
Deskpilot Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Great vid Howie but that camera of yours sure wasn't awake until you turned away from the sun. A great pity as I'd have liked to see the approach more clearly.
Guernsey Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Great vid Howie but that camera of yours sure wasn't awake until you turned away from the sun. A great pity as I'd have liked to see the approach more clearly. Does it have a manual aperture control ? Alan.
brilin_air Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Mark needs to stick a GoPro on the wings somwhere. -Linda
Guest Howard Hughes Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Great vid Howie but that camera of yours sure wasn't awake until you turned away from the sun. A great pity as I'd have liked to see the approach more clearly. The video was a spur of the moment idea, I used the camera phone as that was all I had. Not sure about manual aperture on the phone, I can clean the video up on youtube (which shows the runway better), however the colors of the morning sky are lost! Might have to put a Go-Pro on Mrs Hughes shopping list! Would love to take a cockpit video of an entire flight (with sound effects).
motzartmerv Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 HH. I am somewhat of an expert in the field of cockpit video/audio recordings. :) I could easily set something up for you in minutes that would not be intrusive at all. :).. But it would require an operator.. hhhmmm...Let me think...Who would be good at that...uumm... MMMMMEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!...lol
Kyle Communications Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Somehow Motz I dont think the RFDS like anyone filling the jumpseat....if they do I will put my hand up too... I can take a good video at times
Guest Howard Hughes Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Somehow Motz I dont think the RFDS like anyone filling the jumpseat.... There's a jumpseat??
motzartmerv Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Nah, the right seat will do me...That way i get to say "V1.....Rotate" and stuff...:)
