Bermuda425 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Hey guys, Make sure to check out Neil Hill's rendition of Kilo Lima Alpha Foxtrott as part of the NA global freeware airport pack. Hope you enjoy this post! It's Monday and everyone at the airport was getting ready for the third aviation day in Purdue University history on this Saturday. Let's see what people are doing on the ramp. Filmed with my Asus Zenfone 3 on 19 April 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Talk about being in Heaven! Man, I'd love to be there, work there, live there, sleep there. This is airplane heaven! Nice vids Erik! I liked in the first one where they must have students learn to re-skin a canvas plane and maybe even dope the fabric? That is a lost art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is for sure Heaven. And I've even seen some FSX yokes and throttles quadrants in the faculty lounge, awesome! Those students, actually they were cleaning the planes since it is the end of the semester and Saturday lots of visitors will fly-in from all around the place. There's an American CRJ200 arriving in half an hour from now and tomorrow morning a United CRJ700, which both will be displayed on Saturday. I'm looking forward quite a bit. Would be great to have you there. Let's plan for the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to meet you there but there's a whole boatload of reasons I can't make it. Maybe someday. If it's allowed here, can you post some more video or photos? If it's allowed. It's always good to see the next generation starting in aviation, there's so much they can do. Pilots, technicians, flight attendants, operations, aircraft painters, you name it. Have fun Erik!

Bermuda425 Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 Thanks Jack, very kind! I'll be there tomorrow and doing my best at the camera. I'm still thinking about what I can do special and different than the other hundred people with camera who'll be there We'll pick you up via jet for one of the next year's meetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingleaf Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Oh man Erik I second every word Jack is saying. I wish I could be there and help to shine everyone of these beautiful Airplanes. Well maybe except the canvas ones. Thanks for posting these beautiful vid's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bermuda425 Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 @flyingleaf @Jack Sawyer Very happy to hear you enjoy the videos! It's been a nice little event today. Here's my final video, hope you enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Outstanding Erik! I loved it all, and man do I miss working aircraft. I loved that little chopper at 12:30 and you saved the best for last, that beautiful Texan! Looks like you had a wonderful day, wish I could have been there. And I loved all those frames with various people in them, alumni I suppose, and Amelia Earhart too. How cool is Purdue? Are you an alumnus? Do you work there? Best.

Bermuda425 Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 @Jack Sawyer Thanks very much, glad you like it! Yes, the chopper is the smallest one I've ever seen. And the CAF oldtimer is actually a Fairchild PT-26 Cornell, but I wouldn't have know myself. Yes, you're right, the photos were my other favorite part after the Fairchild. I'm a student at Purdue, in the Professional Flight program. Whenever I'm at the airport, I feel home and you can just walk out on the ramp and enjoy plane spotting. We have the busiest airport in Indiana after Indy Intl. The rest of campus is like every other college I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
