The mission location is Ideal Beach. This is a public location that is patrolled by local police. It is not a park. (Old Bridge Waterfront will be our back up location in the event of any issues. I have talked to police about the Old Bridge location and we are cleared to fly there early in the morning)
From Ideal Beach you can stay over the beach, view picturesque Bay Shore Waterfront Park, capture views of New York City, and possible views of Navy ships.
It is extremely important that we all fly responsibly and in accordance with FAA Rules. Maintaining VLOS is required because of low flying Coastguard and Military helicopters. Strobes are highly recommended. If I understand the new rules correctly we are required to stay 3000 feet away from Naval vessels. There is a good chance that navy vessels will be spotted from the location.
Make sure to RSVP if you are coming.(either here or on meetup)
If attendance is low, I know a place that will get us a better view of Navy Ships, but it's not big enough for more than a few UAVs. Ideal Beach is far enough away that it will keep people out of trouble.. This is close to a location at which if you don't follow the rules you might not see your drone again or you might find yourself being questioned by MPs.. or DHS.., but it is outside of restricted airspace.
