Touring the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center (Bridgeport, Calif.) with a 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment MH-60K. Prepare3d v5 simulator with custom scenery

Tour the virtual skies as we check out the Santa Ynez Mountains, west of Santa Barbara, Calif. This region was home to Pres. Ronald Reagan (dubbed the "Western White House"), which we will feature in an upcoming episode. But in the meantime, check out the gorgeous scenery during this sunrise flight.

While practicing for a video discussing baseball legend Ted Williams' time as a Naval aviation cadet, I took off from Indiana's Grissom Air Reserve Base (formerly Bunker Hill Naval Air Station), the site where Williams began flying Piper Cubs. While the point of the video is familiarizing myself with the aircraft and learning how to record and edit video for a forthcoming historical video series, I managed to land the Cub like a helicopter.
