Poor Blue #3 has been neglected lately, finally had a chance to get her up for a bit on Sunday. FYI this flight went over NASA and Clear Lake in Houston. The flight was a bit docile for me .. the white knuckler in the right seat demanded I behave!

That was nice, Lee!
I kept thinking... jeez, tighten up those shoulder harnesses!
It had been beautiful & in the 70's for a couple of days here, and I took advantage of that in the Thorp also.
Nice flic!

It was nice to see the old stomping grounds from the air again. I assume that was Pearland from where you launched? I took Darcy on a few of those cruises around Kemah and have landed a few times at Ellington.

Good memories dude.

Broke in the new cylinder two days ago for 1.2 - first flight in 3 months.

You shut the camera off a few seconds too early.....

Great video ! 8) If you are using a GoPro camera you can get rid of about 95% of that prop effect with a Neutral Density filter that they sell . ;)
