Hi Y’all. I am new here; actually stumbled on this site looking for new places to go fly.

I have been flying my Mavic since July 2021 when I passed my Part 107. I’m doing real estate drone work and love flying. My 16 year old is studying for the exam now, and it is something we really enjoy doing together.

We are both eager to learn!

Have you flown over any of the lakes in/around Dallas?
I have had good luck with:

• White Rock Lake (also near Flagpole Hill)
• Lake Lewisville
• Lake Ray Hubbard

I would be interested to hear if you've flown over any not on this list.

Welcome to the forum from the dry lakeless hills of Lake City FL. An irony... I know. If lakes grew here as much as your knowledge will, Lake City would become an ocean.

Welcome again!

Howdy from just a hop, skip and 2 hour jump south of you in the Houston area. What are you flying? I have two M1P's. How is the RE photo bus going? I have been thinking about getting my 107 but havent pulled the plug yet.

Yes - we have been out to Lake Lewisville. We have also flown in Ft Worth by the Trinity River, south of west 7th. We went out to fly at White Rock Lake about a week ago and it was so crowded that we couldn’t even find a place to park - so we left. Today we were thinking about going out toward Possum Kingdom and the Brazos River.

I have a MaVic Pro 2 and LOVE it!!! I wish that I knew more places to fly! That has been the biggest struggle - seems Texas is so big but so limited.

I was a HS geography teacher and quit for some reasons bout 18 months ago. I have been doing RE for about 3 months and really enjoy it. The biggest problem is that there isn’t much work right now. Get you 107 and be ready for spring

Welcome from Charles in Irving. Flagpole Hill is a great place and it's in uncontrolled airspace.
Have fun

Let me know if either of those are good for flying. Fort Worth is a bit far for me (live in North Dallas).
