This short video shows the 7-year old pilot participating in pre-flight preparations for a single-engine Cessna 177B. The video also shows rain and cloud-cover, the take-off, and the post-crash wreckage in a residential neighborhood.

Note: there is no audio track; gray vertical bands that cross the image were present in the original tape.
