Video is shaky, but this is a landing in very adverse weather in Orleans, France. We broke out of the clouds just at minimums. You can hear me talking about it right before the plane tells us we are at minimums. Apologize for the shakiness, but it was a bit turbulent and a bumpy ride. Also, I hate the way I sound when I talk. Sound like a tit.

Incredible.

The one with the bird in mist is awesome.

Thanks. Hope you are doing well.

Just found some old videos from the Drop Zone. Not so sure I should post them online. Funny stuff though.

Not sure if I posted this before, but a video from my early days of flying. You can see a young Astro pitch a bundle from the back of the plane, and hear me say "Whoo that was sweet!" as the video ends. Most of the footage was shot over the Channel and at RAF Lyneham. In fact that is me in the image displayed there.

Sadly, yes. It is the designator for Ramstein, our home base.
