Backcountry flying videos

I know there are quite a few pilots out there who would be interested in this. My brother is a trail-dragger pilot (C-170B), and I've been up to Idaho with him on a couple of occasions. The two videos are of a landing near the north fork of the Salmon River (I think that's it; it was two or three years ago). Anyway, it's a very tight approach and landing. I think you'll like it. I'm just trying to figure out the video upload deal...









So... how do you upload a video from Photobucket to Sailnet?

Steve,
How did you do that?

I took it with a digital camera that didn't have a mic. Even if it did, all you'd hear would be the blare of the engines. It couldn't be louder in there.

If I told you, I'd have to kill you!


Actually, your videos were uploaded to photobucket ok, but I think you had your url address messed-up a bit in the transfer to sailnet. I'm not a computer geek, but much of this stuff is just intuitive with me and I'd do an awful job if I was to try to explain what I did.

I'll repost if you'd like with a more explicit and coherent reply, your call.

Not a diaper changer. My brother has taken me in and out of lots of tight spots, but I'm telling you -- it's not safe. These guys always tell you how safe it is, and every year you'll hear about some very experienced pilot packing it in up there. It happens ALL THE TIME. If you want to fly safely, fly commercial. These days no one can afford to fill the tank. $4.50 - $5.00 for a gallon of 100 LL. They complete the run-up, and they've blown their fuel budget. Gotta shutter down! Now all he wants to do is go sailing. Free access to a boat and no fuel tab. It's amazing how much sailing and aviation have in common.
