Johnboy Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 RCAF Snowbirds have recently installed a rear facing 4K HD GoPro camera on the smoke fuel pod of Snowbird 1. The following video by Snowbird 6 is probably the coolest inflight video you will ever see......https://www.youtube.com/embed/tTnTEvKC-sE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.O. Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 It doesn't matter how many times I see them fly, I always get a little emotional. Thanks for posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Powick Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Excellent !!! Probably used as a debriefing tool as well.Would be nice if they can afford to put forward facing cameras in the solos as well as the TECs (Tail End Charlies).Be nice to see the flight from their perspective.

Guest Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 The ultimate example of situational awareness and energy management!Love the family send-off on the flight line! I share J.O.'s sentiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch Cronin Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Terrific video! I loved the starburst - or whatever that's called... and the other downward burst.... Awesome to see from that perspective! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnboy Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Agree all the way around and yes Kip I understand the camera is being used as a debriefing tool as well. All the shots on this video were (for the most part)done in the last few weeks in Comox YQQ. This is one of many outstandind videos produced by Maciej Hatta (Snowbird 6) on behalf of 431 Squadron. The guys has an amazing talent not withstanding his flying skills and sometimes uses a small drone with a GoPro for interesting perspectives. His You Tube chanel (Match Productions) is located here.....https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx1Bv7PXJZEzwxoFqZ3wqqw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moon The Loon Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Love it! Brings me back to 1978 in an earlier life of photography - Nimbus Films Limited produced a 25 minute promo film for The Team. Gord Wallis was the #1. Another Joe on the team left us prematurely in a crash in Grande Prairie in 1980. Rest in Peace, Gordo.It made it into theatres for a brief period of time as a recruitment film. I still have my personalized autographed poster of that years' Team.Coincident with the National Film Board release of our film, the Snowbirds received their 431 Air Demonstration Squadron colours.Well done, guys! Keep it safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
