The stuff that gets you in trouble is what I'm not doing.

Don't fly at airports, don't buzz people, stay under 400' AGL and all that other boring stuff!

If only I had one of these drones in middle school to spy on my highschool sunbathing neighbor .....

Nice videos and pics. RayInAk needs one of these for his northern lights pics.

BTW I dont know how you sold your plane, now that I own a plane I have contemplated selling it and then I pretended like I had already sold it and I felt this sadness.

Well for most pilots I know, flying becomes part of them. Just watching clouds going by with a blue sky background will make them stop and watch the sky. I miss flying early in the morning when the groundfog covers the valleys, lakes, bays as the sun comes up!

Flying isn't cheap, but the experience can't be explained of bought either!

What kind of plane?

This is looking North from Captains Bay, to the island of Dutch Harbor, Alaska.

I flew the drone up the side of a hill and it is about 200' above it to get the view/shot!

This is the Alaskan Veterans Memorial at mile 146 of the Parks Highway, a very quiet place!

yes legal but there is still a liability for damage or loss due to them.
