Jeff, Really great video. I like the vlog style better than just the video and music. How do you like using the fusion Overcapture? I read there is some beta software that ups the resolution from 5.2k to 5.6k, have you tried it yet?

This mountain captures the spirit of New Mexico like no other.
On the first day of a trip up to Colorado, Paul and I flew up to ShipRock Peak, in the 4 Corners area of New Mexico. We followed the 6 mile long spine from the south, then circled the peak test for thermals and strong winds. Finding none,…[Read more]

It ended up being a 4.8 hour flight, starting out with a cruise up the Colorado River, below the rim towards the Glen Canyon Dan, then over the Paria River, back to Marble Canyon and a zig-zag flight over the Grand Canyon via…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing Mark. A very interesting read. Amazing to know how a relatively rigorous investigation on the phenomenon was conducted almost 2 decades ago. IMO this it is worthwhile for trike pilots to learn or refresh their memories on this some what unique peculiarity of WSC.
