Air 2s The Bethlehem Steel Stacks

[dronertv]

The now-defunct Bethlehem Steel was once the 2nd largest producer of steel in the world. It forged the steel for the Golden Gate, the Chrysler Building, and more than a thousand ships in World War II.

This is Great! It's amazing how a rusted old pile of metal can be so colorful and captivating on film. You did a great job capturing it. The top down shots were great, and the shot following the train was superbly smooth. Nicely done! You got a new subscriber with this one!

Sad. Billy Joel's great old song "Allentown" was really about Bethlehem...

Sad indeed. Allentown and Bethlehem are connected and part of the Lehigh Valley region. He was basically singing about the whole area as he often played there in his early days. Bethlehem is in the third line of the song.

Brilliant work and so well put together. Did you have any issues with controls etc considering how close you were to great lumps of metal? I think I might have chickened out of flying there for fear of magnetic fields etc interfering with controls.

Always enjoy watching your videos!

Awesome!! What a great place to fly. Great flying and editing, as usual. Kudos for braving the cold and early hour.

I imagine those structures being an FPV and drone graveyard . So many places where things could go wrong if you weren't being careful.

Nice video but terrible music
I had to mute it

Terrific video. Beautifully flying. Dale, I disagree, the music was OK but could have been better, maybe more dramatic.

No problem. The drone is always further away than it looks. We had a few of us flying and when we are in groups I always struggle more with the interference from other drones and controllers.

I might have put Billy Joel's Allentown if it was not copyrighted.

The music was fine. It fit the metallic/mechanical nature of the subject well. People gonna complain.

I liked this lots - thanks.

Great Video!! Too bad these old places are just 'reminders' of years passed. But...good they are there to capture on camera!

Thanks for sharing, I liked the train passing by, it showed just how big the plant was.

Very nicely shot and edited!

Yes, it was super cold. My fingers were frozen. I would love to see some FPV footage there. I’m not brave or skilled enough for that yet.

When you put yourself out there you open yourself up to critique. Sort of boring to always get nice and polite compliments. Glad people are watching.

The place is huge. Unfortunately, Lehigh Vally International is in close proximity. You can only get LAANC up to 150ft. The largest stacks are 230ft.

Beautiful shoot loved it
