Pat,

Thanks for sharing the details of your Crazy Horse experience. You

have actually lived one of the items at the very top of my Bucket

List. Maybe someday I'll do that with the last $1500 or so I can get

my hands on. I'm too frugal to do it unless my lights are about to go

out.

Hi Thom,



I suspect the price has gone up a bit since my flight, particularly as I met 

Lee Lauderbeck again a few years ago at Oshkosh I think, and he had 2 

Mustangs on the flight line. I assume from that things are going well for 

him.

Glad you liked the write up. I hadn`t thought about it recently and writing 

it up brought the memories back.



Cheers



Pat

Pat,



Any chance you could put that video somewhere on the internet for us Mustang pilot wannabes to drool over? By the way, was that discount price of only 1500 in US$ or Pounds Sterling?

Thom,

that was 1500 pounds sterling. I still don`t know how I squared my 

conscience with spending that amount of money  on myself.



Re putting the video on the net. Firstly I dont know how do it. Secondly ,it 

is pretty long. The cameras mounted in the plane ran all the time , just 

switching from the outside to the inside view,plus stuff my wife took when 

we were on the ground... Thirdly, there are longish boring bits of long 

climbs with nothing happening. Although I wouldn`t miss a frame it would be 

pretty tedious to anyone else.

Fourthly. I made it more watchable (?)  by adding  other bits of film. For 

instance the low beat up sequence includes jinking around factory chimneys, 

shooting up railway trains and troop transports on highways .I also added 

other flying seqences of Mustangs dogfighting.

I also added a musical soundtrack. Bits of the soudtrack from the film 

Battle of Britain , bits of  The Dambusters I think plus some rather nice 

jazz.

Taking into account the rather combative attitude of the recording industry 

at the moment I don`t think I would like to risk the copyright problems 

inherent in a situation. where I have stolen both film and music.



I will have a word with my brother in law who is a bit of a whizz with 

recording and see if he could put the tape on DVD and perhaps get a copy 

although that may present difficulties with  the different recording 

standards of the UK and the USA.

The original tape supplied by Stallions Inc, the company which does these 

flights, was of course in your format and I had some trouble in transfering 

it to ours.Then it was copied as the soundtrack was added etc., etc.

The standard of the picture of course degrades everytime these transfers 

take place so I have no idea of the quality which might emerge.

I am visiting my brother in law in a couple of weeks. I will take my tape to 

him and see what he can conjure up.

Don`t hold your breath



Pat.

Any post you make can be edited or deleted after you sent it by clicking the icons on the right hand side. There have been many times I've sent something out and needed to make a correction. I click on "edit", make the change, and it appears as if I had sent it correctly the first time in the same post.
