Bluffton pilot shot this video

 Click here for Bill Suter's video flying over Little Riley Creek.

Three years ago the Icon posted a video created by Bill Suter on his journey flying over Big Riley Creek from Bluffton to Pandora.

Suter returns with this encore video showing Little Riley. It was created about a month ago, just before threes started to obscure the creek.

The Icon captured several screen shots along the way, shown below.
