IAM in poughkeep my self always looking for some one to fly with !!

Hey i am new to the forum. Looking to see some flight and talk with someone that has had some ownership experience before I buy(hopefully next week).
I am from poughkeepsie area and would like to meetup this weekend to see some flying.

Well i work on MIDHUDSONS AND FLEW NEAR THE GROUNDS ...U CAN FLY JUST GOTTA STAY AWAY FROM HELIPAD...THERE APROCH IS FROM THE FRONT IF THE HOSPITAL FROM RT 9

All right, here's my problem (I think). I live in Poughkeepsie and according to B4UFly, under the Status Details/Nearby Airports page of the app, there are 2 heliports within my vacinity, "Midhudson Rgnl Hospital of Wes" and "Vassar Hospital". I checked and neither one have a control tower and yet "Current Location, Now" page is showing the "Warning - Action Required" logo. Still learning here (used to fly Ultralights years ago, thing's have surley changed). Aside from entering my Future Flight Info, do I need to do anything else? OOps, FAA registered recreational flying.

Thanks, great forum here.

I flew my Mavic Pro out to the castle from that platform today. It was so windy, I had it on full throttle the whole time and I was lucky to go maybe 5mph. The Mavic was steady but I was fighting a strong headwind. Coming back I easily hit 25mph in normal mode though. I’ll have to go back on a less windy day.

johnsctt78's got the spot right in my words! This is the view from the deck and the location on Google Map 3D

Located in the newburgh area. Would look forward to hearing from others in my area about good places to fly or information about issues with drones in general.
