I first wanted to try a flight at dusk using the GoPro 2 to see how the runway lights looked.
As you can see even at dusk the lights are pretty visible.
Even from about 500 feet up they were pretty easy to see.
I made a smooth approach but the rough runway broke the camera mount off as you'll see.
Now it was time for the actual night flight.
I took off the GoPro and used a CCD camera for this flight.
I was a little disappointed by how much static the camera produced at night.
I took off right away...
Um...
this is really fuzzy.
Yeah, it looks like I can go here, it's like, mm-hmm.
Maybe if I turn off this.
Yeah, yeah, turn it off.
Okay.
And if I just bring it in, it's awfully static-y.
Fortunately, I was still able to see the runway lights through the static.
Too high.
Ouch.
Ouch.
