I flew to Jordan Craters today so that I could get a video record with a much better camera. I made a video some years ago but the camera only had a resolution of 480 at the best. It is such a striking visual area that I wanted to do it again. The flight was an hour and 36 minutes, burning about 3.25 gallons of fuel. Average speed of 65, which was much better than I expected. I actually got a bit chilly on the way back, which was unusual to say the least.
I will upload the video tonight since my upload link is about 1MB . The video unfortunately is about 9 minutes long. I cut as much out as I could, unfortunately there is a lot that is worth seeing, at least I think so. :-/ Here are some of the snapshots of the flight.

It is difficult to grasp how large the Jordan Craters are, how huge the lava spout is, even when standing on it. Must have really been an eye catcher when the lava was flowing.
Thanks for sharing.

LarryGreat pictures, I suspect any mono camera does not fully capture the panorama. We all know piloting one's own aircraft is nearly magical. The chill on your return, that is due to Global Warming.
