Inside the cockpit view on a Citation V flight – GoPro video

The Citation is a small jet built by Cessna, and this is a video made using a GoPro camera recording the cockpit perspective from departure to arrival of an IFR flight. If you are not familiar with piloting, you may be surprised at how much activity goes on up front. A separate video recording showing the out the front window view is added on at the end.

I have a pilot’s license but have not flown in many years as my life’s interests took me elsewhere.

Video: Pvt. Hugh McLaughlin (1835-1906)

A mini documentary I produced today. Was invited to record an honorary ceremony and headstone dedication for Pvt. Hugh McLaughlin (b.1835-d.1906). He was buried in Greenwood Memorial Terrace in 1906 but his grave was unmarked and his Civil War service was unknown. Local Civil War history enthusiasts, re-enactors, and others took part in a graveside ceremony to honor Hugh McLaughlin. In attendance were a granddaughter, great granddaughter, great great granddaughter and other extended family members. Photographed using a Canon XH A1 and AT-835b shotgun directional mic. I also shot some 3D any may edit that at a later date.

Local news story on the ceremony is here and background on how the grave was discovered and the many people who researched the genealogy, the history and worked to obtain a new headstone.
