 |

On 19 July 2004, I shot a landing at Eureka Lodge, Alaska. I had taken off from a gravel strip on the bank of the Knik River near Palmer, AK. It was about 0830, I was hungry and looking for coffee. Nearly two years later I got the video clips of my landing, which I did not know had been taped. Paul Petty while communicating with a gentleman in Alaska discovered Miss P'fer's landing at Skelton Airstrip, Eureka Lodge, AK.
Thanks Paul. Here's the url for 4 segments. Recommend "saving as" and downloading to your hard drive before playing. Each clip is 16 mb.
http://www.c-gate.net/~ppetty/Hauck's%20Stuff/Eureka%20Lodge/
Not worth the effort to try and download these if you have a dial up. May not be worth the effort to download if you have cable.

The url broke on the previous. You can cut and paste it, or use this condensed url:

The shortened version didn't work either, but I double checked this one and I think it will get you to the index page and the four files.

The last link worked but the file types are unknown to my computer. What kind of video file has a .VOB extension. Nome of my applications recognize it?

Thom,
The videos are MPEG; the VOB is a file name only I believe. They play on my
Windows Media Player.
Good luck, Bob D.

Paul Petty recorded a DVD from the orginal VHS tape. I stuck the DVD in my computer and downloaded the file to my HD. It works with Window Media Player and Real Player, plus a couple others that I can not remember.
Paul's DVD recorder automatically put the 16mb chaps in the DVD. He never could figure out how to get them out and into one clip. Neither do I.

I'll try downloading the files an rename them. The file extension ".VOB" is what's throwing off my computer.

List;
That file name "VOB" runs fine in any DVD-type
program. That's what I ended up using to see it.
Looked like a beautiful pattern & landing. For a
guy that's never been notrth of the border, flying
without parka, in Alaska, seems strange.
Guess every place on earth has a few 'good' days.
Blue Skies,

Weather has been much warmer in Alaska. It can change in a minute though. Best be prepared for everything. Flew from North Pole to Anaktuvuk Pass, above the Arctic Circle, in a T-Shirt and flight jacket. Next morning took off from Deadhorse bound for Kaktovik (Barter Island) in a T-Shirt and no jacket. 25 miles east and I was freezing. Found a gravel bar by a river to land on. Dug out some more clothes before continuing east. It was 70F when I left Deadhorse and 40 when I got out of the MKIII at Kaktovik. Clear blue shy and sunshine, but the wind was howling.
Point Barrow, a few days later, was also very nice. I have a photo of Eskimo girls in shorts on the gravel streets of Barrow. Never thought I would see that.
Here is a photo I took flying south from Eagle Plains, YT, to Dawson City, YT. A beautiful morning for a little while. 30 minutes later and I was down on the road waiting for the ceiling to lift enough to fly again. |

Man John, I really appreciate you sharing these photos. It was seeing these
and reading your logs from the Barrow trips that inspired me to dump my 172
and get a Kolb. 172 is gone, been down to London to sit in the machine and I
am just waiting for the house remodel to complete so that I can have my shop
back to finish a little airplane.
These are really inspiring.

I took the liberty of taking the 4 VOB files and combining them into a
single Windows Media file...

Thanks Robert:
Best images come on the DVD player on the TV. Also good sound. Can
hear the guys discussing the airplane, engine running in the air and
on the ground.
Again, thanks for your help.

PS: I will take the 4 big files off Paul P's web page in a few days
and folks can look at Robert L's.

Hi John,
Your flying on the wrong side of the cockpit.
Who do you think you are, a helicopter pilot?

For those of you who cannot get the WMV version of the video to work, if
you'll make sure that Flash will work with your browser, then you'll be able
to view it as a Flash video... here:
http://www.texas-flyer.com/images/Hauck-video.html
This should work for Windows, Mac, and Linux, as long as you have the Flash
driver loaded for your browser. To do it this way, there's a little bit of
sacrifice in quality, but at least everyone can view it.

Hey Guys,
Sorry for not jumping in here till now but I have been busy with Ms.Dixie. As John stated I met an Alaskan Pilot that I have become friends with and he sent me about 5 hrs of VHS of his flying in Alaska over the past few years. When I talked about my buddy who flew his Kolb to Barrow and described it's color and design he said "Man I think I have him on video!"
When I got my hands on the VHS I was amazed it was John H. I have for the longest wanted to convert my old VHS over to DVD and bought a recorder to do just this. However for reasons unknown to JVC and myself, these recordings stop and start over every so often. We first thought that the tape was so long the DVD recorder may be thinking it was at the end tape due to drag. But I dont think that is the problem. It appears that there is some sort of "signal" in the VHS that is telling the recorder that there are different "chapters" and the 5 hrs of VHS took 5 DVD's to record all of the material on. The max on "chapters" is 51 per DVD.
Anyone have a clue? I would love to capture this segment on one continous DVD as the entire collection for my Kolb brothers. Also like anyone with Kolb flying footage, I would be happy to convert the VHS to DVD for all of us to enjoy!

Paul --
This is a common problem with VHS->DVD recorders... They've tried to make
it "easy" for the dummies, but they end up creating more problems than they
solve. For reasons I'm unable to fathom, the manufacturers of these devices
have created some of the WORST user-interface issues known to man.
Currently, the solution I use in a similar situation is to "rip" the files
off the DVS, piece them together in a video editing software, then burn the
result back to a DVD (kind of like I did with the 4 VOBs).
