Get any footage at Mt. Charleston or Red Rock? I imagine going to the 8,000 ft peak and hiking up to around 10,000 feet would give some amazing footage.

Dang good video, what the heck is it?

And do you have anymore of the ''Airport incident" you posted on BooTube?

Just kidding....I hope that wasn't you...

I do have some footage from Mt. Charleston but I haven't finished going through and editing any of it. I plan to go out to Red Rock soon as well.

I love Mt. Charleston, such great scenery and hiking. Also, make sure to follow the drone rules they have for RR, as some areas are off limits for drones.

What was that place?

Yep, I think there is quite a few. The whole world is freaking out over it.
Whenever you hear the word 'drone' you think of an antonomous object hurtling through the sky raining down death and destruction...

What was that place?

It’s known as the Three Kids Mine near Las Vegas. It’s an abandoned manganese mine. Closed in 1961. An interesting fact about the manganese mining that took place there:

Part of the process involved leaching a processing pulp …”in a series of seven thickeners, the first two of which are acid-proof construction and 250 feet in diameter, thus making them the largest acid-proof thickeners ever constructed.”

I was thinking it must be some sort of old mining relics. It was quite a place when it was active.

Awesome picture! Yea, there were some tunnels in hard to reach places but... I didn’t want to risk it and go exploring in places I wasn’t sure I would be able to find an exit from.

Howdy from Wyoming @flawlessdeadpixel , welcome to the community, plenty of fine folk and excellent information here.

Hey great video! I went out there not long ago and had a lot of fun flying here. It's a big open area and definitely makes for interesting footage. Here is what I managed to get if you're interested:
