Hey there guys,
While certainly not my best videography work, this may be the saddest video I've had to make. Through the many changes here over the years, Horizon's Q's have been the one constant. Horizon began operating Q100s in 1985 and has served Bellingham since 1987. Q series have been here since our first few years of jet service with PSA MD80s, and later, US Air 737-300s and Alaska MD80s. Later into the 21st century, we had Allegiant MD80s, Frontier and Skybus a319s, and Alaska 737-400s. Through all that, the Q remained here. For the serious legacy it has at BLI, I was expecting more of a send-off. While I understand the tower has to keep a level of professionalism, the final radio sign-off of a revenue Q flight felt like any other day at work. I speculate the pilot paused during his readback because this special moment ended just a little too soon.

Over a year later, Im back with some model reviews. I took an afternoon and made about 20 videos. For the past 6 months, Ive been restoring a 1970 Datsun Roadster. It has been sitting outside with a hole in a piston and without a head for over 20 years. I rebuilt and installed a new engine and its now driving and fully operational, including lights and instruments. In the future, I will compile media Ive captured and what Ive learned into 4 or 5 15 minute videos, just as a resource to anyone else restoring a vintage Japanese car. My resto Instagram is @fair_condition_lady, but for now, enjoy the models!")

Hey there guys,
The much anticipated 777x finally flew today, January 25th 2020. With each GE9X generating 105,000lbs of thrust (individually powerful enough to power three 737 classics) takeoff was seemingly quieter than a 757. Major milestone for Boeing, and in a little way, for myself. This was my first time seeing an inaugural of a brand new aircraft. Taxi footage was shot the day prior to departure when takeoff was aborted due to +20kt gusts.
Thousands of people watched in anticipation from the Future of Flight deck and parking lot. As you could imagine, visibility over the next guys shoulder was less than ideal. She happened to bound off the runway much sooner than expected, but I was still satisfied with the clips I gathered despite my consumer level location
Enjoy!")
