Thanks for posting that, H&H. It's a nicely done video that shows how enjoyable one of those flights can be if everything goes right, though I'm not condoning the open-door shoe selfie thing. Obviously, there are some differences from what occurred on 350LH - first, this guy was on a twin, not a single (not to reignite that argument, but as has been noted before, the fuel switch for the twin is on the ceiling, so the presumed cause of the East River incident would not be likely).

Second difference, and probably not that significant, is that the pax headsets seem to include microphones, whereas the crash ship did not.

I wonder if this was a "special" flight since the company knew they were being videoblogged. (I will say the pilot is rather fetching with those blue eyes and all...)
