Not bad, but could have used some engine noise incorporated into the audio track.
That music was kind of boring. If I was not an F1 fan, I would be like "this is lame".

I experienced this landing on my trip to Honduras. It was pretty intense!:

They disproved that as being problematic on Mythbusters which, as you know, is the definitive proof we all need! :rofl2:

I think they've rated that one as one of the 10 most difficult airports to fly in on.

It's a Beechcraft Beech 1900D.
It's small and fast, like the sports car of commuter planes.
There's only 18 seats and the pilots don't have or don't pull the curtain.

I took this shot while were taxiing:

Yeah, yeah, I didn't turn my cell phone off when I was instructed to.
I've flown in helicopters with my cell phone on and plugged into the cockpit's communications system. I'm still here :tiphat:

What was really wild was watching how much the little plane pitched around from the crosswinds coming into YYZ.
Being able to see the lines on the runway swinging from left to right as we approached really puts a different perspective on things!

Shoulda taken a clip of that landing. :)

The only real problem with leaving your phone on (and not in "Airplane Mode") is that the battery drains quickly as the phone hunts for a signal.

I tried to, but the difference in lighting between the dark cabin and the snow blinding brightness outside played tricks on my camera as you can see in the above pic. Oh well.

Attended the Grand Am race at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin on Friday and Saturday. It was an unbelievable time thanks to the incredible work of Chris Coronado aka GURU on the forum.

We had a big group from Houston travel over together, and we got to meet up with some friends from Dallas too. I was lucky enough to get picked to do a parade lap of the track with some of the Z's that made the trip.

I can't express how nice the facility and its staff are. ABSOLUTELY FIRST CLASS. COTA is the nicest racing facilty I have ever been to.

I'll post some pictures today. Here's some of the Doran team who had a big shunt on Thursday and managed to get the car back on the track. At one point, they were seriously considering pulling parts off of our cars in the parking lot, but were able to source what they needed.

All-in-all a fantastic time with great friends.
