In total, we had twelve cameras running during the flight, and generated half a terabyte of footage. Special thanks to camera op Grant who successfully tracked the plane I was in, while pointing his camera backwards, while in a 4g loop.

Coming back from the newsletter, I can't believe I would get nostalgic over a Tom Scott's video

There's a great amount of terror about this in a youtube video where people have no idea what they're seeing…therefore it must be aliens, world war attacks, and so on… This is so much fun to watch!! People really need to get a grip!

Right, so I see these guys from my house then a day later this video gets recommended to me. What a coincidence

With all those RGB lights, that's a gaming airplane.

I'm not sure it was these guys exactly but I was lucky enough to see this above my home last year, I think someone nearby had a wedding and had hired them to do a performance.
It was amazing to see and it took me a while to realise what I was actually seeing.
I am lucky enough to live between two military bases so I often see Apache's and Chinooks fly above so this was a extra treat

This is incredible; I can hardly believe it's real! Love the bumblebee dance – looks adorable and definitely increases the safety. Stunning footage!
