Video

Great video. Great flying. See you in ‘23.

And of course her name is Karen with all those dumbass questions she asked along the way.

Love the trip..thank you..

Awesome camera angle

And if you fly around the island all the time my wife says you need to point the camera down so she can see all the sharks please

What kind of plane is that it looks kind of like a Texan

Very nice video. I just vacationed on Dauphin Island a couple weeks ago. We took the car ferry from Dauphin Island to Fort Morgan. Which is the name of the Fort you mentioned and here is a little info about it. Fort Morgan is a Third System masonry fort built between 1819 and 1833. Standing guard where the bay meets the Gulf of Mexico, the fort played a significant role in the Battle of Mobile Bay in August 1864. Used intermittently through the Spanish American War, World War I and World War II, the site showcases the evolution of seacoast fortifications and adaptations made by the U.S. Army for the defense of the country. In 1946 the site was turned over to the State of Alabama as a historic site.

Awesome video. Love it!

nice video of a wonderful place. dauphin-island-fishing-charters-with-wesley.business.site

I heard you call left downwind for 31 (30) but never heard you call your base or your final, you talked about the golf course but nothin else. I guess it was a great thing you were out there by yourself. Just cutting up with you my friend, thanks for the awesome video. We live in North Alabama and have been looking at property at Dauphin Island but never flown in there, I have a smaller twin but I’m certain I could easily get in and out of there even thou it’s a little short.

I've been to gulf shores its nice

Nice video

Great video. My family heads to GS every year. First year we stayed in Fort Morgan. A little too quiet for the kids but perfect for my pace. I love this place.

very nice video - the first golf course is Kiva Dune....my favorite course. The swampy area is Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge - it is beautiful. We stay in the Fort Morgan area at least once a year....and yes, that is restricted air space.

At the end I thought you crashed. That quick time lapse was crazy

that's so cool i want to do that

Dave I enjoyed your Thorp videos. Would like to speak to you about owning a Thorp. How can I reach you? Mike Treacy

That was awesome! Can I go with you next time?

A lot of the rigs you see are actually natural gas rigs, along with some oil rigs. From my knowledge, the ones in the Bay are primarily natural gas rigs.

Loved this video.... Thanks for sharing!!!

Been there done that

Nice job David

I've got family on dauphin island. Once I finish my ppl next year I can't wait to load up my 150 and head over there from dallas

Thanks for sharing your video. I am adding this airport to my future.

Great Video!

Is that thing stock?!?! wow. that's a lot of G's

What year is the Thorp you're flying?

love that you custom mounted an ipad into the dash!

That would stink if you landed, taxied in, went to get the camera and it wasn't there.

Neat ride along. Love it down there. BTW, the undeveloped "swamp" areas along the north of the barrier island from Gulf Shores to Fort Morgan is called Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge.

I don't know if that "restricted area" is active or not.....give you a hint genius......RESTRICTED AREA.

I like the wave at the end.

Nice flying Mr. Read.

Nice!

Nice flying. I own a T-18 also and I'm re-doing my instrument panel... What is it that you have on the right... Is that a tablet? or something else.

Excellent OSH flyin'!

That was the day before my ppl checkride. I agree that approach is a little intimidating with all of those trees and that water tower during the approach. Thanks for sharing

been wanting to fly to this little retreat. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the ride.

I enjoyed this so much. Thanks

Nice video. It also looked great from where I was on the ground...I kept telling those standing next to me about the tornado painted on the side.

What is the audio readout?

Would really love to see some more tail mounted camera video's like this sometime, perhaps a video of a standard flight to really enjoy the flight and the scenery.

Nice video. Thanks for posting

I get it. Build a Thorp, and you get a chick with a Porsche.

How cool. A flight of Thorps into Oshkosh!

Fly the great T-18. What a nice video.

Great video ! Thanks for sharing. My name is also David "Read"...only I spell it "Reid". I was born however on December 17th. Probably explains my "addiction" to aviation. I hope to make it to Airventure soon. It's on my "Bucket List". Thanks again.

Awesome video, really enjoyed it.
