Another newbie and retired pilot from Australia

[BenTaplane]

G'day! I'm just starting to enjoy being able to concentrate on the views of Planet Earth from above, with a Mavic 2 Pro. Before that, I concentrated more on making sure I stayed above the ground while I was flying various types of aircraft.

My biggest buzzes were flying for an airline in New Guinea, where we landed up the sides of 10,000' or so mountains. Before that, I used to round up cattle on Australian Outback cattle stations. Legal fun!

Oh yeah, I also had a commercial helicopter pilot licence but always ended up flying "da plane!" I also used to instruct ultralight pilots during my holidays.

But jeez, what a BUZZ it is to go somewhere and just unpack a drone and enjoy the scenery! I'm hoping to learn how to film surfers. (I'm still surfing, but definitely not improving with age haha!)
