Hi,
We finally received a DVD from the guy that was taking pictures at Monument Valley as every one was leaving. He managed to capture Arty's friend make his spectacular takeoff from MV. I had the devils own time figuring out how to get it from DVD to Google.

There was a bit of a cross wind as well as a tailwind. It looks as though he swerved a bit to the left , then over corrected. It also looks to me as though he attempted to use the ailerons to try to bring himself back. It is pretty hard to tell since the bank sloped him in that attitude.

Thanks for posting the video. I watched it a few times and I don't see me in the line of fire at all. Maybe it's for the best not knowing how close it was. I remember ducking and seeing that drifter way too close then seeing it hit a mound of dirt behind me.
The wings were rocking quite a bit that doesn't show on the video and he was banked 30-40 degrees before he left the runway. The photo I snapped shows that and I think the rudder deflected also. I thought I remembered the throttle being advanced a whole lot quicker but the video proves otherwise. There really wasn't much of a cross wind but there was a tail wind. It seemed more like over controlling issue.
I have to believe that you lost some detail when you put it on Google. Could you attach a before google copy to a E-Mail and send it to me off list?

I think the narrator summed it up best at the end of the video....
