This is the third of several videos I'm releasing from a flight with a friend from the Wenatchee, WA, area to Twisp, WA and back. In this video, Cyndi and I depart her home on Wenatchee Heights and head almost due north to Twisp, WA. Although it starts with a cockpit view with viewers looking over our shoulders, I quickly switch to the nosecam. I also cut cockpit audio in favor of a narration added during editing. There's some great scenery along the way: the Columbia River, Wenatchee, East Wenatchee, the Rocky Reach Dam, the Entiat River, a hanging valley, Lake Chelan, Manson, the Methow River and Valley, and finally Twisp.
I'll probably release one or two more videos from this day of flying. Subscribe now and turn on Notifications so you don't miss them!

About Me and the Helicopter
- I have been flying for about 20 years. My nearly 4,000 hours of flight time is in Robinson R44, Robinson R22, and Bell 206L (Long Ranger) helicopters.
- The helicopter is a 2005 Robinson R44 Raven II -- the same one that appears in the photo at the beginning of the video. You can learn more about them here: robinsonheli.c... I own this helicopter. It is the third helicopter I've owned since 2000.
- My helicopter has ADS-B Out and is picked up by radar facilities. You can see my track for recent flights on Flightradar24: www.flightrada.... This is a great site for tracking any almost any flight, including the airlines.
About the Video
- The video was recorded with a pair of GoPro Hero 7 cameras (amzn.to/2Lxyzwl) and a GoPro Hero 3+ camera. One of the Hero 7s is connected to the helicopter's intercom system with an NFlightCam audio cable (amzn.to/31syLTm).
- All cameras record audio, but for this video I added a narration in the edit stage and dialed down the helicopter sound so you can hear it.
- The "cockpit cam" front-facing camera was mounted with my current Instrument Cam set up, which you can learn about in this Behind-the-Scenes video: • Behind the Scenes: Coc... . It's based upon a MyPilotPro Helicopter Mount (mypilotpro.com...) modified to get the height I need. The rear facing camera was mounted on the cockpit bubble with a MyPilotPro Spider Swivel GoPro Windshield Mount (www.mypilotpro.... The "nosecam" camera is mounted with a proprietary mounting system.
- The video was edited on a iMac using Davinci Resolve 16 software. Learn more about it here: www.blackmagic....
- The intro music is by Bob Levitus, famed "Dr. Mac." You can find him here: www.boblevitus....
