Youtube video "FlightPath"

Post by Gear Jerker »

There was a youtube video called "FlightPath" by "jmwvideos", who at the time it was posted (I think around 06) flew for Wetstjet. The video has been taken down it seems, and I'd like to track it down somehow. I'm guessing that jmw are the guy's initials, not that his name is relevant here other than to find this video. It has 2 different songs in it, Clocks by Coldplay, and Higher by Creed. It's a picture and video compilation of his career progression, and I used to watch it all the time for motivation before I started flying.

Any ideas?

Looks like the video got the boot for copyright reasons on the audio.

Ya I fired him a message, thanks.

Too bad, I bet that video inspired a lot of young Canadian pilots.

That was a great video. It is such a tough thing to document your trials and tribulations along with the eventual success without it looking rather egotistical, but this guy got it right.

Hi Guys

First off I'd like to say thanks very much for your kind words regarding the video

YouTube didn't like the fact that I didn't seek permission for the music used and has basically blocked out the video completely.

I can still watch it thru my own sign in but the public can't see it at all.

I looked for the original on my old PC to see if I could upload it on some other video platform but I don't seem to have it.

Im going to figure out how to save it off of YouTube thru my sign in portal but have yet to figure that out.

It's funny this video was actually made for only my parents as sort of a thankyou for their support - the original actually said something to that affect.
They asked me to make it public and 35000 plus views later it took on a life of its own.

At one point both Clive and Don had mentioned it after we ran into each other at a WJ function.

I always meant to create a part II so to speak as so much more has happened in my career but with copyright issues not sure if I'll do it.

Thanks again for your words -
Remember to "enjoy the journey"

Hi Skyblazer,

I haven't seen your video myself yet, but I really like inspiriational videos on flying. Let us know if you manage to salvage it off your youtube account. Would love to see it.

Hi Skyblazer,

If you can watch the video from your account, you can also download it to your computer in a video format. Use a program called YTD Video Downloader, which will allow you to download videos from websites, including youtube, and convert them into video files on your computer.

Hope this helps

Looks like YouTube has changed things again - Its back up with its original score and a link to "buy" the tunes should you like them.

Warning tho - Im still as ugly as I ever was.

Cheers
