Shooting PAR - but not playing golf!

This is a video of the PAR (Precision Approach Radar) approach to runway 28 at Hunter Army Airfield, near Savannah, Georgia.  This was the second approach of the day, and was an opportunity for me to practice a unique type of approach, while at the same time allowing the controllers at Hunter to get practice guiding an airplane in.  My comments about "micro vectors" you'll see in the video were me being sarcastic about being issued very precise heading vectors on a bumpy day in the air (and were not broadcast over the air).  Click on the HD button and full screen to enjoy at max quality!
