Great Video worth watching...

Wanted to share some great Vid's I found with all here.
Though not our usual Rotor type...this one has all the "Thrill" of our favorite machine.
I remember seeing these guys in the air over the city the week this was filmed while I was there...specifically the yellow & black checkerboard Bi-Plane.

Turn up the sound to enjoy AC/DC's "Hells Bells"...and enjoy the view over the old Howard Air Force Base on the west side of the Panama Canal.
The first several verses of the song aptly describe the way it rains there too..!
(In the back ground against the City skyline over the Canal of several scenes One can see the Albrook Airport that I've flown out of several times with my friend Ramon in his Helo....brings back good memories for me)

Here's one made a while back that really is amazing and more to our liking (from a Rotary standpoint).
The Country side and surf scenes are beyond beautiful...you will see the country of Panama (my soon to be new home) in the way I remember it....and the reason I'm willing to so quickly give up Snow and being stuck indoors 6 months of the year to return there for good.

The Co. that put these Vid's together ("Colibri") is top notch...as can be seen in this one also:

Great video I liked it. When are you making your home down there?

 

[Minnesota_Mike]

Hi Chuck...!
Check out the second one...bet you'll be coming back down for more visits after you see that one..!!
(PM sent w/ details on my move).

M-M.

Well...I'm quite pleased that you all enjoyed these videos to actually bother to (not) comment....you must admit...impressive flying skills none the less..!

I thought that the skills of these pilots spoke volumes about their ability....the video crew put together a great "teaser"
Myself...I'm way to conservative to try anything like what these "Pro's" consider to be "Fun".

M-M.

Awsome Mike,

Never been there, didn't realize it was so beautiful. Really enjoyed it thanks for sharing.

Beautiful!!!

It's funny how we can sit in our own country, content in the knowledge we live in the best country on earth, and think that everyone else is itching to come here and live like us.

Then we travel, and find places of absolute beauty almost everywhere, and find that the people who live there are usually just as as happy with what they have as we are with our lot.
