Default 2016 AMA/NMPRA Pylon NATS videos and photos

I attended the 2016 AMA Pylon NATS for the Club 40 event. I got a lot of video from Club 40 and on Sunday I got some AMA 424 footage. Dan Kane was nice and did a quick introduction to the 2016 AMA/NMPRA Pylon NATS. The video is on YouTube at https://youtu.be/e5UrLaeQ5pE ... This is a second production of the video using de-hazing. The sky was milky on Sunday and I have to de-haze the 424 footage. I wish I could have gotten to Muncie in time to get some Warbird video, but I was busy completing a plane and didn't get to Muncie until 2 am on Saturday morning. I will have a lot more video coming. If you like the video coverage, please Like the videos on Facebook and YouTube and I'll try to get more in 2017. I learned how to de-haze videos in Adobe PhotoShop and will be glad to help you as the process is not obvious, but it really helps clarify cloudy videos

The first heat of AMA 424 at the 2016 NATS that I taped from on the course. Need to zoom on future 424 video edits, but since I was all over the place, I did not zoom in during editing. http://youtu.be/3ZBlDnrLzEg

I missed most of the Mains as I had put the GoPro on a Tripod, and editing that video is very time intensive. But I got most of the Club 40 Silver A Main and it was a good race with Tim Sparks coming out on top. http://youtu.be/UGH8rPJ49YA

Thanks. I really wish I could have stayed for the rest of the events, but I had to be at work on Monday morning. I left Muncie at 3:00 pm on Sunday, got home at 2:00 am Monday morning and was at work at 9: am . Then the next weekend I moved my son's stuff from college in Raleigh back to Charlotte and the trailer had to be cleaned out. Getting ready for the NATS and getting through those weeks was a marathon.

I'm going to try to go to Hodges Hobbies in October for a 424 and 426 race. I'm going to get even more GoPro batteries and try to get some good footage. At 3840 x 2160 30 fps, I only get 20 minutes per battery max.

I will be video taping a lot of stuff from on the course or at the pilots station in the future.

I found out that trying to edit full course video from a stationary tripod is extremely time intensive.
