Wish I had the skills to make a music video to capture the breathtaking flying display I witnessed yesterday, May 5 at Albion Park! It was as if I saw a live music video: Matt Hall flew a 12G ride with the blaring sound of Underneath the Radar by Underworld and Powderfinger’s On My Mind. Also a pleasure to speak with, sign autographs and pose for photos! Inspiring and well worth watching – hopefully he continues his career in the Red Bull races. Watch the full clip of this flight at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ_ba9qlAA8. Here’s hoping someone can edit a music video for Matt – I suggest Powderfinger as the music, rather than two songs. Perhaps I can convince a student to do something …
It made me think of a recent early Saturday morning Rage viewing: the programmers do so well somedays. Probably to celebrate a Van Halen tour, Rage played the US Navy Blue Angels music video for Van Halen’s Dream. If you haven’t seen this precision flying, here’s the link to Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5JdDDxqikU. Can’t really do better than this for combining real action and skill with music and lyrics.
