    Air 2 Fruita, CO Fireworks

    I watched from up on East Orchard Mesa and flew my Platinum up to 300 feet high. Not a good idea as I was too far away and did not get much worthy to keep or post but enjoyed night flying. I also put up the Air2 but never ventured far.

    Hello from Mobile, AL

    Hey, I will be i n Mobile next week working at the hospitals. Any good places to fly there? I'm staying downtown waterfront. I have a Mavic Pro Platinum and an Air2. I fly out here in Colorado often. Also welcome to the Forum. Great place to learn and very smart peeps too :)

    Cicadas & Drones

    Crunchier ones, that's GREAT LOL. Yeah I lived in Illinois last time I saw them but I personally would not put my expensive drones in that position to find out. But then again you would have t be flying at ground level as mentioned above. Take video if you do though :)

    What's the results of descending below the takeoff altitude?

    Wave as you drive by on your way!! I drop down to the Colorado river all the time with no issues. Air2 and MPP.

    I love it. I'm on the Western Slope and didn't get a flake! Snow all around us but not in the Grand Valley.

    Mavic Mini 2 Chicago Footage and Can Handle!

    While the city certainly has winds and is not even in the top ten cities for wind, it is from the old days of the politicians talking so much they created wind. Thus the Windy City. I left after 49 years and live in heaven now :)

    so many sad posts lately

    I have felt the pain and have the scars to remind me. I still laugh at how I cut my leg up and down and sliced my thumb learning about low levels above the ground, low light and the sensors capability. LEARNED, or is that SCHOOLED :)
