about

Sunday 26 November 2023. Between the solo flying display of a Pilatus PC-21 and the aerial handling display of a F-35A Lightning II, there was an interval of three hours, during which time I kept recording. Throughout those three hours, three civilian helicopters, one after the other, were repeatedly taking off, departing, returning, and landing again, in a continuous cycle. They were taking customers on brief scenic flights over the racetrack and surrounding city and parks, and would often pass directly overhead after taking off, or when coming back in to land. This recording is just one third of the three hour recording. It is unedited.

(This track is also available as part of the album hearingbeings.bandcamp.com/album/f-35a-lightning-ii-experimental-field-recording-soundscapes-in-two-perspectives-with-two-versions.)
