Wasatch Plane Ride

John Daly took us (Tom and I) on single propeller plane ride around the Wasatch. It was one of the most intense things I've ever done. I only got a few still shots because I was mainly operating a video camera.

We came around the north end of Mount Timpanogos and I snapped off as many shots as I could, after an hour of aligning and color correction here is a 90 degree rotation of the second biggest mountain in the Wasatch, made out of 5 still shots.

As we reached the northeast side of Timpanogos, the engine stalled and we fell sideways straight down for about 150 feet, it was weird looking out of the window and seeing the ground coming up at me, but it was no problem, John regained control and we went on about our business.
