did you slow this down any? I didnt think something that big could fly that slow and stay in the air

Not at all. It did go very slow at one point, probably to show off its low stalling speed. It's probably going at something like 130 knots with flaps fully extended, which looks slow when it's so far away.

By the way -- apologies for the shaky camera work. It was windy, I had my arms extended over my head to see over the crowd, and lots of zoom.

Also, I'd have loved to get a longer shot of the turn after take-off but all that dust you can see being blown around got blown into the crowd and my eyes!
