Flight of Icarus
Got a 40 buck cam off ebay and had some fun mixing it up on a Stryker. Got a Zlog coming in to see how high I am able to get with naked eyes. Any guesses on the apogee in the vid?

RE: Flight of Icarus
you were def. up there aways. That front view camera did the best...did you switch brands of cameras - the other ones had an orange tint to them.
Pretty neat, that plane screams thru the air

RE: Flight of Icarus
Thanks. . . Yes that plane has been dopplered at 137km in a slight tail wind. Same cam in all positions; I think the reason for the diff in hue on the front mounted position vs. back and side is reflection off the fuse/wing of the plane which was painted flourescent red and had gold stripes taped on. Now I am hooked and plan to get a CCD with a ground station and video gogs.
