Thanks, guys.

A second video, the departure, is available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghkY1PPGnhM

Landing fees were $6 (airport landing fee), $5 security fee, $40 ramp fee (waived with 15 gallons, or in my case, a 5.9 gallon top-off).  I also stayed overnight, unexpectedly, which ran a whopping $10.

Fuel was just under $8/gal, which is about a $3-4 premium over normal, so the 6 gallon top-off could be compared to a $18-24 ramp fee.

Very, very reasonable. They also provided free transportation to/from a nearby hotel, as well as booking the room for me at their established crew rate.  Wonderful service overall.

To the question about the video equipment, there is a page about my setup here: http://keith.tristesse.com/page/about_videos

Lastly, the quality of this video was actually pretty terrible (the audio was fine, though).  I recently changed to a new video editing suite and haven't found a way to tweak the quality of video that is rendered for a youtube upload. That, and there was more vibration through the tripod (it's kinda random based on where the tripod ends up on the cargo shelf on a given day).
