- dullnation, on 03/30/2009, -1/+79I'm sure it could lead to some really cool long exposure photos
- sockpuppets, on 03/30/2009, -2/+66So this would be considered an ultra light?
- randypanda, on 03/30/2009, -1/+52Woulda been wayyy more legit if it were pitch black night.

- anthropodeus, on 03/30/2009, -0/+9imagine how many religions you could have started 300 years ago by flying that over populated areas at night.
- TheScogg, on 03/30/2009, -0/+8I wonder if it would look like Rainbow Road?

- Technopundit, on 03/30/2009, -1/+4Do that with the Orbitz hovercraft -- become king of the Mormons.
- jefjefjef, on 03/30/2009, -0/+3I spent more time reading the title of the youtube video than I did watching the video itself.
- sockpuppets, on 03/30/2009, -0/+3That plane's got flair.
- Rooker156, on 03/30/2009, -1/+4yea, if by controversial you mean stupid.
- deathmatch, on 03/30/2009, -0/+3hit refresh
unless you are reading Embedding disabled by request as not available - DeluxeLunchbox, on 03/30/2009, -0/+3Stop using that word!
- sethpr, on 03/30/2009, -0/+3FAR Section 61.57(d) contains the recent night flight experience requirements applicable to persons who act as pilot in command of an aircraft. The description of night as the ”period beginning 1 hour after sunset and beginning 1 hour before sunrise (as published in the American Air Almanac)” applies only to the passenger–carrying requirements of that section. This definition of ”night” should be used only for the purposes of that section.
- VcTrMASO, on 03/30/2009, -0/+3Dose anyone else find it odd that he picked up a guy from home depot to operate the camera?
"Don't complain about the camera work I found the camera guy in the home depot parking lot." - noinput, on 03/30/2009, -0/+3worth it for the video transitions. Barn Doors ftw.
- seantubridy, on 03/30/2009, -0/+3Your grammar needs to be a little more better.
- r1fl3m4n, on 03/30/2009, -0/+2Flying under bridges
- randypanda, on 03/30/2009, -0/+2Yeah, I've been trying cut down on the word "it" but I just can't help it.
- spiralspirit, on 03/30/2009, -2/+4i want to believe.
- CharlesMay, on 03/30/2009, -0/+2Which is why the wings are different colors.
- Yage2006, on 03/30/2009, -1/+3Imagine how many UFO crackpots you can have fun with.
- Lasereth, on 03/30/2009, -0/+2I was expecting this to be slightly more entertaining.
- KennMac, on 03/30/2009, -1/+3Except for the fact that it looked like he was a least a quarter mile away from the highway.
- ObeseSnake, on 03/30/2009, -0/+2Well it is SF after all.
- JKount, on 03/30/2009, -0/+2I once watched a show where they tried to locate Big Foot by RC plane at night near a bunch of camp sites, it had an infrared camera on it with a bunch of red and blue LED lights on it so they knew where it was in the sky.
Your comment was my exact thought when I saw that, except it would be in the mountains of Oregon. - Epitaph, on 03/30/2009, -0/+2Banshee Boardwalk > Rainbow Road
...but DK Jungle is pretty kick ass, too. -
