Paul brought out his beautiful Elan jet and took it for a little tour of our airspace on this windy day. It looks awesome and of course, the sound is amazing. I think this might have been the first fight of a turbine at our little club and the brakes came in handy when landing on our short runway.
There was enough wind that I wasn't able to eliminate all of the wind noise but there's no way I could mute it and lose the sound of the turbine!
Sorry I had to reload this, there were issues with the audio track after I uploaded it the first time.
