2017 Sonex Alaska Trip

You should see it in its full 4K resolution. These cameras are amazing. I used two Yi 4K and one GoPro 4K along with a Sony 4K handi-cam. My MacBook Pro handles the editing of mixing 4 4K streams but it uses a lot of disk space.

I posted a video on crossing the border into Canada with some flight video of the clouds that eventually led to diverting to Calgary. I talk about some of the things to consider when planning a flight into Canada.

What an amazing trip, Jim!

I noticed on one clip that your fuel flow was dashed out. It might have been in turbulence. Do you know what was causing that?

The red cube stopped working about half of the time during this trip. Very annoying but easily mitigated with a watch and cross checked with the fuel level. I had actually purchased a replacement but the original was behaving for a few months before the trip so I left it in there. When I'm really stretching out a leg, the fuel flow is very important because I can fine tune the speed vs distance. When it's all working I can do 500+ mile legs with confidence.

You're the inspiration!

Another video is ready - It shows the major legs through Canada.

In this video I talk about crossing into America from Canada. Not much flight video but good information for crossing the border. Disclaimer: Make sure to check for the latest information and don't rely solely on this video.

I'm working on the Denali video but with over 8 hours of 4K streams to go through it will take a while. BTW 4K Video is the future. Looking at the footage on a 4K monitor shows amazing detail.

This is video of the Talkeetna airport, takeoff, and approach towards Denali.
