Video: Cessna takeoff — What you don’t see

By General Aviation News Staff · May 21, 2015 ·

Smitty Smith from FunPlacestoFly.com posted this video of what we pilots don’t normally see during a takeoff. He explains: “Just for fun, I made this video showing what you don’t usually see as a pilot. Now if the camera designers could only make their cameras more aerodynamic so the wind doesn’t make them bounce around, it would be great. My apologies for the bumpy visual ride.”

    My non-flying friends asked me why I don’t have a [GoPro, Sony, whatever] to film my flights. Response? How many youtube videos do we really need of [fill in the blank]?

    Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

    Nice music, boring video.

    Cool video looking to the rear but the view to port is what pilots see all the time.

    Excellent choice of musical accompaniment. Otherwise rather routine imagery.
