In 2002, I was out at the pylons at the Reno Championship Air Races and captured some Great Warbird footage. I viewed it once but never posted it. I ran across it again over my 2010 Christmas vacation and decided to edit the video and share the experience.
Normally I shoot on a tripod, but I had to go handheld because the planes were just too close and fast to follow. Plus, from right to left, the follow is greater than 180 degrees. I used a broadcast quality shotgun microphone - the sound quality is simply the best!
My old Sony VX-2000 is an SD (standard definition) camera, and the video was cropped for widescreen. Wish I had the HD back then.
I'll post more clips as time permits, such as the Gold race that was shot from pylon 3.
