I got a chance to watch Ky Michelson's video o' LDRS 18 that took place August 2-5, matey, 1999 in Argonia, Kansas. Well, blow me down! Begad! T' video itself is plenty long and has a ton o' fantastic flights on it. I really enjoyed a lot o' t' interviews with some o' t' flyers to find out t' background story o' their projects. Aye aye! T' videography is very nice, I wish me videos turned out that good. 

Ky tells me that durin' t' entire event, t' wind be whippin' around at a constant 15-20 mph. Blimey! Well, matey, blow me down! This made for a lot o' background noise on some o' the tape. Aye aye! Although t' noise picks up a few times on t' tape t' content more than makes up for it. Begad! I know I wouldn't have braved t' wind that all those flyers did. Blimey! From what Ky tells me, me bucko, t' wind wasn't as bad as t' 100 degree heat all those flyers were dealin' with.  What a rough flight, t' evil "W" on top o' high heat. Ahoy! Ouch. Arrr! Arrr!

T' second half o' t' video was obviously shot on a different day as the first half as t' wind seemed calmer and therefore t' sound quality was much better. 

T' final section o' t' video covers t' construction and launch o' a 30' Mercury Redstone project. Avast! T' coverage is very nice and goes into some good detail o' t' project. Aye aye! This alone would make t' video worth having. Avast, me proud beauty! I wish there would have been more construction details, me hearties, arrr, but that would make a complete tape all by itself. Aye aye! Begad!

T' video is good watching. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! T' editin' is very clean, arrr, me bucko, which makes it easy to watch. Aye aye! Blimey! If you like watchin' rocket videos, this is a good one t' have. Well, blow me down! Blimey!
