July 4th Silent Celebration Gyro at night

I went for a night flight on the 4th with my wife. This is some of what I shot.

We chose to use no sound to honor those who fought for freedom.
I am thankful for the blood they lost for the USA and the life they gave.

You are a brave man.

It was twice a close call, at 3:02 it was really close...

Also the runway lighting was not impressing.

I would have never dared such adventure.

I did the same thing last year with my beautiful wife Laurie over the Salt Lake Valley (except no video). It was cool to see the fireworks looking down with the city "under" them.

Great stuff, thanks for sharing.

Stay safe.
