Or just in general?<br /><br />It might be due to the fact I have them embedded with HD playback defaulted to active; to do that, YouTube takes a bit longer to buffer the video before playback starts - and it might take a while if you have a slower internet connection.<br /><br />Try clicking the YouTube button in the bottom-right of the player to watch it directly on the YouTube site and see if that makes a difference.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11130510691724323456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1417693701650847558.post-61060932318290131062012-09-21T11:10:51.091-04:002012-09-21T11:10:51.091-04:00Great post.

It must be a hardware problem for me, I always have trouble getting the videos to start.

We're actually going back up this weekend for tailgating and football - via car. <br /><br />Rob always takes awesome photos. My two all-time favorites of me in the Cub (at the end of <a href="http://amileofrunway.blogspot.com/2011/04/spring-fun-in-vintage-cub.html" rel="nofollow">this post</a>) are ones he took a couple years ago. It's amazing how steady he can hold the camera at slow shutter speeds. The results (prop blur, clear airplane) are usually spectacular. Check <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/gunfighter157/" rel="nofollow">his Flickr stream</a> for plenty more examples.<br /><br />I'm not sure about the old restaurant but there's a cafe in the new-looking building next to the fuel pumps. Didn't have time to check it out but there were some locals in there. Might have to swing by for a bite next time we fly up.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11130510691724323456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1417693701650847558.post-48245726746041260042012-09-19T06:59:02.269-04:002012-09-19T06:59:02.269-04:00Great post!

That first photo taken by your friend of the takeoff in 14L is terrific (they're all good, but there's something about that one that I particularly like - it's very crisp). <br /><br />I haven't been to Coldwater (OEB) since before leaving Michigan. There used to be a decent restaurant on the north end of the field there that required a bit of a cross country drive on the grass to reach. As a relatively new pilot still flying rentals, that struck me as pretty cool.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846593737518887287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1417693701650847558.post-51589633990990960502012-09-18T21:24:11.533-04:002012-09-18T21:24:11.533-04:00Thanks!
