It's been a couple years since I really used my Mavic Pro. Here in Virginia Beach, I felt there really weren't many places I could go fly.
I did go fly it in an open field (near General Booth and Corporate Landing.) I know this is pretty close to the Navy base and such, but I usually kept it to maybe 10 feet off the ground and in my line of sight. However, now they're building something there, so that's gone. So my Mavic (and Zerotech Dobby) sat unused for two years.
A couple days ago, I was bored and Googled where to fly a drone around here, and got this site:

I noticed Mount Trashmore is on the list. I thought before the local parks prohibited flying, but maybe they changed them? The city park rules page (2019 revision) does allow for flying UAVs:
Also installed B4UFly, and Mount Trashmore is just outside both the Norflolk International Airport and Oceana Naval Base zones.
Any others have experience flying there? I thought I read about workers telling people not to fly there before, but that was years ago. I just prefer to avoid any confrontation if I can.
Also saw Atlantic Avenue and Stumpy Lake are on the list, and Little Island Park was mentioned here before. I just want more experience before dealing with sand and water.
