If your computer has the horsepower, the vid is most impressive if you click on the video, then go full-screen, then change the 360p icon to hi-def 720p.
It was a nice day a few days ago, and I managed to wedge the hi-def camera into the windshield to capture a visual / ILS approach onto runway 23 at Toronto Pearson. I talked all the way through the approach but the noise of the wind on the windshield completely overwhelmed the audio, so I added a music track instead. Hopefully the copyright police won't sue me into oblivion, I think it adds a little bit of fun to the otherwise fairly routine video. The band is Underworld btw. The video is 10 minutes long, and I won't be offended if you decide to skip it, I just like the combo of dreamy music with an unobstructed view out the front :)
The wind was a direct crosswind at 20 knots, but I lucked out on the landing, so overall it was a good day :)
We are in Quebec City at the moment and I have taken a bunch of vids of that too, which I'll post later.
Have a most excellent Canada Day / Independence Day / Summer day weekend!

Awesome video, awesome music, awesome landing!
yes, awesome vid. The beginning is my favorite part. The music and clouds are perfect. It's like the start of a movie!
Great video. Like most flights it all seems to come down to the landing scene - which was also good.
You can tell it was windy. I had a look with the HD and I still couldn't make a wind sock but I could see movement of the airplane on final.
Been reading you for a year or so. I work on the 525 in Europe. Just got in from 6.5 hours today and I watched this for the second time.
It captures our line or work so nicely that I want to watch it having flown 6 hours today.
very cool. especially in HD.
