Are You Ready For Captain Jack
|
Roger Diotte put a rockin' beat to this Challenger music video!
His sound track is Captain Jack's 1990's Eurodance treatment
of the Queen hit Another One Bites The Dust.
We can imagine the good guys launching in their Challengers
to stop the bad guys from taking over the world.
Machine guns ready to go...
Making them bite the dust!
Are you ready for Captain Jack?
We'll bet you can't stop your feet from tapping!

Full Emotion
|
|
Challenger owner, aviation lover and amateur videographer
are three phrases which describe Roger Diotte of Mont-Laurier, Quebec.
In 2010 Roger produced "Full Action", a fast paced video
of the 20th Annual Challenger Rendezvous.
For the 2011 Challenger Winter Rendezvous
he has taken a mellow approach!
Enjoy with a glass of wine!

Full Action
|
|
Propriétaire de Challenger, passionné de l'aviation et vidéographe amateur
sont trois phrases qui décrivent Roger Diotte de Mont-Laurier, Québec.
Roger merged his three passions to produce "Full Action",
a musicvideographical perspective of the aeronautical action on the ice
at the 20th Annual Challenger Winter Rendezvous.
His choice of music is fast paced to say the least -
fasten your seat belts and hold on to your hats!
Fantastique!

The Big Two Oh!
|
|
January 2010 marked the 20th Annual Challenger Winter Rendezvous - The Big Two Oh!
All was purrfect - sky blue, wind calm, temps just right, ice runway ideal.
140 Challenger fans at the banquet. 29 Challengers flocked together.
47 Challenger wannabe planes flew in to pay homage.
This truly has become THE winter aviation event in Canada!
Aviation photographer Jean-Pierre Bonin took the images.
Bryan Quickmire put them in motion and set them to music.
Best watched full screen in HD!

More than a Feeling
|
|
Todd Mitton came to his first Challenger Winter Rendezvous in February 2011.
It was the 21st annual rendition of this
the most popular winter aviation happening in Canada.
Todd's music video of the action on the river and the sights from the cockpit
does a wonderful job of capturing the feeling of the event.
Todd has now experienced the Challenger's charms on skis as well as floats.
We'd say Todd Mitton is smitten!

Montebello Magic
|
| This video was created by John Sutherland
during the 2008 Challenger Winter Rendezvous at Chateau Montebello. John
shot the footage on Saturday afternoon then edited it and put it to music
for presentation at the banquet that evening. Talk about time
pressure! The star is somewhat unsure about her first flight in anything smaller
than a jumbo jet. Watch her reaction!

Challenger Magic
|
| This video was created by John Sutherland
for the 2009 Challenger Winter Rendezvous at Chateau Montebello.
It's a sequel to the Montebello Magic video
John put together in real time at the 2008 Rendezvous.
See where John's journey has taken him so far and stay tuned for more!

Tomorrow is Today
|
|
Richard Auger and his wife Lise of Montreal went to their first
Challenger Winter Rendezvous at Chateau Montebello in February 2012.
Richard produced this fun video trailer, no doubt to prepare you for
the feature length version coming soon to a theatre near you!

|
|
Circuit Montebello
|
|
Mike Prescott attached a POV camera to his Challenger for a circuit at
Chateau Montebello during the 2012 Challenger Winter Rendezvous.
Mike's 582 Challenger is registered as C-IMMP so of course it's known as
Sea Imp and has the nose art to prove it!

Come Away With Me
|
| Todd Toutant created a video of the first
flight of Bob Bougie's newly assembled Challenger. Kris Falk did the test
flying then Bob strapped in the front for his first flight in his handiwork.
It's a nice, easygoing watch - handcrafted and kinda rustic. Set to Norah
Jones doing Come Away With Me. Her voice and music are both seductive and
calming - just like the Challenger. Enjoy! |
|
|
Rudder Brothers
|
| Todd Toutant and Bob Bougie of Come Away
With Me fame have created another great Challenger watch! Video and stills
are set to music and lyrics by Townes Van Zandt: "Words to live by
friends. Days, forget most, remember some. The choice is yours to make,
time is yours to take. To live is to fly, low and high, so shake the dust
off of your wings and the sleep out of your eyes." |

Challenger 582 Ski Launch
|
|
Conrad Watters launches his 582 Challenger
on wheel/skis from in front of Chateau Montebello!
The snow runway is so busy he first has to hold short for intersecting traffic.
Once he's clear to go you'll see why we say launch instead of takeoff!
