What do you get when you have dozens of air-horny pilots and the first potentially decent soarable day late in the year?

This is my first time shooting a GoPro HD in 1080p (r5 mode). The battery lasted 2:05 hrs vs 2:43 hrs in 1280x960 (r4 mode). I recorded the first 1:57 of my flight and missed a few fun and funny bits during the last 20 minutes but caught better detail than in r4 mode. In the future I could always try shooting in one of the other 16:9 aspect modes for a bit more magnification but smaller file size and longer battery life.
One reason I was using the highest res mode was to see how good the frame stills were and they are quite good. Had it been a brighter and sunnier day they'd make decent 1/2-page magazine prints and that was my main reason to test this mode. http://imageevent.com/aero92/20101024
It was like a mosh pit down there and some of the LZ comments were pretty comical.
Special thanks to Ken Andrews for driving me back to launch to get my car!
The Sylmar Sunday Mosh Pit
OK, I finally got youtube to load my view of the mosh pit. This was also the second flight on my new Sport 2 175.
