REFLECTOR: Flight to Toronto

[Geoff Gerhardt]

Bob,

The camera was mounted on the wing at the base of the winglet using one of
the sticky-pad mounts that come with the GoPro.  I don't trust the suction
cup mounts - I have several of the sticky mounts on the plane in different
locations as they're very low profile when the camera is not mounted on
them.
