But whatever you show, it's the sounds that are most important to me. Many a great video has been ruined with music that the creator loved but which grated upon the ears of the listener. Keep the sounds of the flight, with ATC if you can get it. The engine and the chatter of the radio is the music of flight. I prefer the view looking forward.

I'd like to see video from the camera mounted on the wing. Get some 200mph tape (duct tape) and you're golden. ;-) Camera above or below the wing, or on the strut; facing in at the fuselage, or out at the scenery. Even on the tail! In-cockpit video is cool, but only holds *my* attention for so long. I did a write-up on my camera mounts a couple of years ago: https://bravo5.org/blog/2007/04/23/in-car-camera-mounts/
