I felt like, given the audience (facebook), I would come off as nosy and pretentious by spouting regulations. Instead, I asked him how hard it was to get the waiver for that flight, which I hoped spurred discussion. Instead he blocked me, and I see he has posted he will be putting more clips...

In my head, I was thinking; balloon>manned aircraft>what should we do in the presence of manned aircraft kind of thing. At the very least some strong deconfliction and agreements prior to...

It was pretty cold, too. I have no idea how he is with regards to battery management, but man, I would hate to hear DJI lady go '...landing' when it is 200 feet from me over a bunch of easily-spooked horses or a children's band! (When I was researching getting into sUAV's, I read about a...

Thank you Honestly, he wasn't. To be fair, he was not the only person that suggested I may not be seeing what I thought I was seeing. He just kind of threw the gauntlet mouse down lol And, I have not been in the community very long, so I came here to seek counsel. I just hoped, honestly, that...

Fine then. You go look and decide: Maybe he got permission from the state parks to fly. Maybe he got permission from the event organizers to fly at a balloon launch. Maybe he got permission from all the sports things where at least 100 were present. You can even cut him slack and say he...

This is what I was hoping for when I posted there. A couple of people have deleted their comments since, apparently. I appreciate all the discussion, by the way, on all sides.

the guy was launching and landing from where he was staying at a cabin in the park. Far as the 'fog', he has other versions of his video that demonstrate him flying up through the layer. Unless he was on the side of a mountain where he could observe horizontally, he was operating beyond visual...

I have some familiarity with the PS world myself. Compliance with regulations that aren't in the criminal code are... looked at as suggestions many times. Especially with regards to commercial drivers' licenses and other regulations lol

He may indeed have a parachute, or one of the few carveouts that don't need the waiver. I can't say. Hell, if I didn't have people that literally saw him, he may have even strung a wire between poles. I don't know what I don't know.

Why can I not shake the idea that this would be a **** move though?

There's a local guy that does great 'here's what this looks like' videos. He was there with a camera on a tall painters pole. Almost the same, 0 FAA worries lol. He could have politely asked to shoot from one of the second story building windows, too. None of that though is the same as a...

I had hopes by the way I phrased my question, there might be some discussion. He's legally a 107 pilot, I looked him up. He should know more than I. Guess he is just the living embodiment of fortune favoring the bold; but I'm telling you, first time I tried any of this, there would be several...

succinct. That's a much better summary. Thanks

Long story longer. I am still trying to get my stuff together. When my brighter tablet arrives, I look forward to getting more time in. Meanwhile, there is a guy where I live. He has every form of social media that I know about; probably more. On them, he puts up some kind of impressive...

I'd like to know how the people flying over the fair in TN... fared
