Hi Ben, I can't believe how much the PC Airport has grown and the changes made since I was there back in 1984-85. I was the weekend manager. I lived in Easley at the time and worked for the Greenville Hospital System as well as in law enforcement. I am now in Ohio. I'm a commissioner for the Huron County Airport (5A1) located just outside of Norwalk, OH. I fly an AR-1 Gyro. I've been an aircraft private pilot since 1978 but took up the Gyro last year. Would love to fly down to visit sometime. I still have a couple of friends that live in the Easley area. Thanks for the video. Brought back many memories. Great job! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Fly safe!

Howdy from Greenville County, Sc. You boys in Pickens County know how to have fun! My 13 year old sons dream is to become a pilot.

That's very kind. Glad you enjoyed it. I was just teaching a lesson on Aus. and NZ in my classroom. I used an Insta360 One X2. On the outbound flight I used an extendable selfie stick to get the external views. On the return flight I mounted it high on the mast. The phone app or computer app allows you to select the views and effects afterwards. Then you can put the clips together with tunes and transitions in any video software program.

Hi Ben. Very nice video where you use the capabilities of the 360 well. I have some X3 footage from last year and your work makes me want to do another, better video of my footage. I also fly a MTO Sport (converted MT-03) with the 914 115 HP engine. It's nice you have the integrated coolers with your 100 HP 912 uls. Ususlly the 912 has a stupid cooler right in front of the propeller. This is much better.

Thanks, Erik. I just watched your Bornholm video with pleasure. Nice to see a terrain that is unique!
