Learning Hammerheads and Surprise Flying Formation

I've always wanted to learn how to do a Hammerhead in my Van's RV-8. After consulting with some experts, I took to the skies to try out their techniques. Then I rejoined on some buddies that were out giving air tours. We had a surprise rejoin at the end!

Great flying and video!

Thanks for letting me join up! Cheers

It was awesome!

You’ve got something here. Nice work. Keep it up!

[@planeawesomedad3297]

Thanks!

Love it! What are you using to record audio? I've shot a few videos, and the in cockpit audio quality is always garbage.

[@planeawesomedad3297]

I use the Crystal Pilot audio system from Flight Flix: flightflix.net/product/crystal-pilot-ga-power-audio-cable-w-gopro-5678-adapter/

Have a great week and what is scariest moment in the T38.

[@planeawesomedad3297]

Teaching young guys, there are lots of “scary moments.” Most of the time it’s during landing when you’re in a student’s backseat!

@@planeawesomedad3297 maybe I should look in to the T-1 track :)

Great stuff man! I liked the shot of the shadows coming into formation. Also thanks for reminding me to go fire up my gas grill to heat up some hot dogs for the 3 year old. #Grillin

What camera are you using and how do you control where it is looking while flying?

[@planeawesomedad3297]

It’s a GoPro Max 360 camera mounted on the Flight Flix pole mount. I control where it’s looking in the GoPro app during editing. You can see how it’s mounted in my video on the Flix Flix 360 mount installation!
