under wing

A GoPro Hero-12, mounted under the wing, records 3840 x 2160 at 59.94 fps for some amazing footage outside the aircraft. External mic sounds are added to the final video in editing for extra immersion.

in the cockpit

A GoPro Hero-12, mounted behind my left shoulder, records 3840 x 2160 at 59.94 fps. The camera is wired into the Aircraft audio system to record in-cockpit dialog and Air Traffic Control (ATC) audio live.

1st person perspective

A GoPro Hero-11 mini, mounted on my head, captures what I see from behind the flight controls. Image stabilization is on to keep head movements fluid and to try and keep the viewer from getting sick!

TIME LAPSE FLIGHTS

Don’t have time to sit through a 20-minute flight, no problem! My footage is sped up 200-800% on my videos and edited to keep most content within 6-10 minutes. The footage is not choppy and looks great!

PA-28-151 & PA-28-161

Most of my videos are shot at the controls of N7259F a 151 Horsepower Piper Warrior, and N3133Q a 161 Horsepower Piper Warrior. Both aircraft are based out of Learn2Fly in Hartford-Brainard (KHFD ), CT. Each aircraft offers slightly different controls and avionics in the videos, but they both offer completely stunning views of departure, cruise flight and landings. As of December 2024, all content is featured in the new Piper Archer N33121, a 181 Horsepower aircraft. This airplane is based out of Hartford-Brainard and part of the CAPFA flying club.

Experiencing the Connecticut Seasons from Above

As we embark on exciting journeys to new airports and towns, you're my passenger.

Town and City Labels

Always know where I am flying! I add professional labels for each town along my route. See the current population, when it was settled and other interesting facts too.

Road Labels

I add a personal touch to my videos by taking the time to add road labels to my videos in post. Get a sense of where I am by recognizing local landmarks easily!

CT Airports

Witness the changes of the seasons from the sky and feel the joy of flying as I visit the local airports of CT. Airport diagrams and information are on overlays when I arrive/depart.

Interesting Facts about CT

I periodically add interesting local facts about the areas I am flying over. Get to know Connecticut towns better and ride along with me in the aircraft!  

Love your videos! live few miles from KHVN love to simulate your flights in X-plane and MSFS!

Do a similar video of the Housatonic. This was awesome. Also, the coastline is beautiful, especially from above. Perhaps a coastal fly-by.

I love that you took the time to overlayed the state border in such a cool way, and the glassy-surface Connecticut River looks so great in this footage. Thank you

Gorgeous, can’t wait for the footage you get on one of these crystal clear fall days. I’ll watch anything about New England from the air
