New Video from Butch

Click here to watch a new video from Butch Lottman, taken in the Platte River Valley in Nebraska and enjoy some of the most beautiful scenery around. From the lookout tower at Mahoney State Park to one of the tallest towers at 1400 ft agl. If you watch closely as he flies down the river near the trees you will see a Bald Eagle in front of him. Once again, thanks go to John Floy for the great music used in this video.
