NFlightCam Crew Is Off On A Caribbean Expedition
While most of us are still trying to digest leftovers, a good
friend of ANN is off on a serious adventure. Patrick Carter
and the rest of the www.AdventurePilots.com
crew departed KMFE on an adventure through the Caribbean in a
Cessna 180.
The jaunt is crewed by Patrick Carter and Aaron Stahl. Patrick
brings over 5,000 hours of flight experience, in everything from
large business jets to LSAs. Patrick also works full-time as a
production test pilot for a major manufacturer and earned an
associate membership in the prestigious Society of Experimental
Test Pilots at the age of 25. At 23 Patrick was also the youngest
flight instructor to earn the designation of Master Aerobatic
Flight Instructor with International Aerobatic Club. Patrick will
be acting as the Chief Pilot for the trip.

Aaron Stahl is an adventurer and seasoned traveler. At the age
of 16 he achieved the rank of Eagle Scout while also participating
in all three of the Boy Scout High Adventure Bases. He has since
traveled to over 25 countries on 5 continents. Some of his
adventures include; circumnavigating the globe on Semester at Sea,
running with the bulls in Spain, chasing and filming tornados in
Oklahoma, hearing Fidel Castro speak in Cuba, motorcycle road
tripping across Vietnam, and seeing the Big 5 in Africa. He is also
a private pilot and aspiring aerobatic pilot under Patrick’s
tutelage.
To document the trip properly, they enlisted the skills of Alex
Kent, an expert photographer with nearly a decade of experience. He
is a Certified Photographic Consultant from the Photography
Marketing Association and has been instructing photography
workshops since 2006 for Bedford Camera & Video.
The entire adventure will be captured with the NFlightCam
mini-cams we've grown so fond of -- so we're looking for some
SERIOUS vids when they return. The team will be visiting the
following countries in the next 14 days: Mexico, Costa Rica,
Panama, Columbia, Aruba, Grenada, St Kitts/ Nevis, Puerto Rico,
Dominican Republic, and the Bahamas.
The goal of the trip is to experience an epic adventure and
share it with the word in first person with the NFlightCam and
Contour wearable video cameras.
