I got an early start this morning and took a few videos.
Take-off at 9G0 at 6:20AM - length 0:59

Wind Farm SE of Buffalo, NY - length 4:25

Attica State Prison, NY - length 2:26

Unfortunately, there is a good bit of reflection in the canopy/windscreen. How bad depends on where the sun is coming from. In every case the sun is pretty low as all were taken before 7:30 AM. At least I got the iphone mount in a much better location than on previous videos I posted.

"Did you notice any unusual turbulance over the wind farm?"
William,
None at all. Of course I did not get within 500' of the wind turbines and for the most part I was above them, not down wind from them at their level.
Re: Wind tubines
I've read a lot of anti-wind-turbine hype and some say that they are noisy. A few weeks ago, I drove to this area and parked my car between two of them close by. I got out of the car and the only sound I heard were birds chirping. So much for them being noisy and being dangerous to birds.
This particular wind farm is the closest one to Buffalo (not counting the 7-8 turbines on the lake-front) but there are many more further SE of Buffalo. I would guess there are a few hundred of them in this part of western NY and more coming.

Thom- Thanks. The noise issue was raised in Vt., near where I have a cabin. The NIMBY syndrome, noisy, chopping up birds, unsightly, etc. They are putting some up on a high ridge there. As I intend to put in a field there, I was wondering about it. I wouldn't be anywhere near 500' in any direction. Probably more turbulence with the hills, ponds, and lakes.

Thom,
Nice videos, "not in my back yard" we have hundreds of wind generators just over the next hill and far away from my runway.

FWIW --wind generators CAN be noisy. One was put in at Cuttyhunk, another on Block Island; both were removed because they made too much noise. This is sometimes because they'll start up whenever a wind rises, maybe at 3AM.
Also, they DO kill birds, whether you see bodies or not. Remember many birds migrate at night.
There just ain't no free lunch.
