Hey Hawk, I know Albany, my daughter went to college there, still go up there to the Pump Station for there great burgers, and the sweet potato fries, where are you flying in Albany?

For now since I'm still learning to fly and use third party apps, I'm fly in Washington Park most of the time. I live 3 seconds (not minutes) for the park. Lol. It's across from my house.

Very cool, I should stop there when I am going to eat at the Pump Station, maybe next time I will.

I should have asked, where do you fly?

I should have asked, where do you fly?

Not many areas here to fly, mostly down in isolated areas of the Hudson river, near the NB Bridge, and low do to air traffic going into Stewart Airport.

Hello All, checking in the see how the friendly skies are treating everyone?

Any idea how flying down by the Rhinecliff train station is?

Hey Westchester is part of the Hudson Valley and there are lots of great places. Here is one of the parks. Like most parks on a nice weekend afternoon, there are plenty of people but there are also spots where you can fly in peace. VE Macy Park is in Ardsley, right off the Saw Mill Parkway...

I park on 9D just north of the tunnel by breakneck ridge before you head up hill and got some nice pictures of Bannermans!

A local meet between pilots might be cool. I'm down, just sucks the weather's getting colder.

Anyone fly around the Walkway over the Hudson? I've seen Youtube footage, but don't know if they got a permit. It's not FAA restricted but the bridge itself is a state park. I wonder if it's OK to fly alongside it so you're not over a crowd.

hello woodstocknick
ive been flying aver and around it, there is a nice spot at the waterfront in highland to launch from,from what the park rules are i believe you can launch outside and go in,but cant launch from within the park, i go there to the riverfront alot to film passing tugs,barges etc.you are in woodstock?

Thanks for the info, johnsctt78. I'm new to drone flying. I'll be getting a Mavic Pro in the next week or two. I've been reading a lot about the regulations and watching many instructional videos. I want to do it right and not lose my drone or be a danger to anyone. I plan to eventually get my Part 107 so I can shoot commercially and maybe make a few bucks.
It seems from a lot of the walkway footage that they're taking off from Highland or from that condo construction site near the train station. That's probably how they're getting around the park ban.
Yep, I'm in Woodstock.

I've wanted to take pictures of that island for years. I think it would be great. Let me know how you make out. There are some nice places off of RT 301 as well.

Took off from 9D just north of tunnel.
