I was thinking about this the other day - I seem to have an overwhelming compulsion to video all of my take offs and landings... when I replay these videos to my non-aviation-geek friends, I get little to no response or interest whatsoever.
I see a quite a few aviation buffs out there include takeoff/landing videos in their trip reports, and I really enjoy watching these - do you guys get into this as well? Do you have any favourites?
I've chucked a few of my previous videos up on Youtube - a few of these are below:
YouTube - Landing Sydney (Hamilton Island HTI - SYD) Virgin Blue 737-700
YouTube - Taking Off: Hamilton Island - Sydney (HTI - SYD) Virgin Blue 737-700
YouTube - Taking off from Rarotonga (Cook Islands) Air NZ 767
YouTube - Landing Sydney NZ831 ZQN - SYD (A320)
YouTube - Taking off in Queenstown Air NZ 831 ZQN - SYD 10/07/2009
YouTube - Landing in Lismore Rex SAAB 340
YouTube - Landing in Queenstown (NZ834 BNE - ZQN)
Do you guys have any good ones to share?
The Queenstown take off bought back some memories! I have had some good times in Queenstown and Wanaka, we used to ski treble cone and cardrona every year. One time I was there in autumn and had some time to kill, so went to the local flying club and bought an hours flying time - the good old days when I had money to spend...
Another time was during the chiefs of state meeting in AKL, Mrs1 and I decided to get out of AKL for the week and headed south to the timeshare in Wanaka where we spent a week skiing. I was at the time surprised at the amount of US military equipment scattered around the airport - lots of it - turns out the following week Bill Clinton arrived at Arrowtown for a few days vacation... someone should have reminded the US SS that it was not Tora Bora!
Anyway, to the OP, I cant agree with what you do with the filming of the takeoff's, the rules are the rules and I dont think that you can assimilate travelling 1km over the speed limit to possibly causing technical issues on an aircraft that could cause an issue on take off.
I cannot see how a camera, MP3 player or iPod would interfere with electronics though...
Mr!
