Helicopter Flight on Columbia

I’ve been very busy lately — too busy to write a real entry. But here’s another helicopter video for those who are interested in these things.

In this video, I’m coming in to Lake Chelan Airport from the south. The video includes a 1500 fpm descent — that’s about the same descent rate as an engine-failure autorotation maneuver — to the Columbia River. Includes some views of Chelan Falls and the lake.

It’s a short video; I didn’t want to bore anyone!

    Great video, I saw the link on golakechelan.com. As you drop off of the plateau, our house is directly below you, just above the highway down by the river. Thanks for the aerial view :-)
