I am going from Dallas to Indianapolis starting Friday…. There are several routes and I would like to get as much drone footage as I can on the way up and back. Don’t have to go the same way up and back.

Any suggestions are welcome to get some unique sites to film. I have already done the St. Louis Arch thing as well as the MS River Bridge there so anything else would be welcome. Even a 50 to 100 mile out of the way would be welcome.

I want to thank anyone for your suggestions in advance and let you know that any help is greatly appreciated. I’m new to this and getting my 107 so any help is needed. I will be more than happy to share any footage I get with anyone that is willing to help.

I have one thing, I am a paraplegic in a wheelchair so getting to some takeoff sites may be a problem. I am a Vet as well as a former First Responder injured in an EMS helicopter crash if that may inspire someone. I have never told anyone that asking for help but this is a big trip for my wife and me so I thought I would throw that in this time. I am really hoping for a wonderful trip. Going to meet our new granddaughter….

Thanks!!!

Check the weather. There are a few notifications about bad weather coming for next week.
 
If found the riverfront in Little Rock AR quite nice.

You might want to look up Casey IL.

Safe travels!
 
Hello from the Crossroads of America iknos.


I don't have any travel tips, just wanted to welcome you to the Hoosier state.

Give your granddaughter a smooch from us here on the Forum. 😘

Safe travels to you and the crew.

Welcome to the Forum. :cool:

Thanks for the suggestions. I am watching the weather everyday. Hopefully we can work around it.
We have been to Little Rock several times. My brother in law lived there and we have visited several times. Now that I have the drone I can think of several places I would like to go to. Thanks for reminding me.
Thinking of going that way up and coming back via Nashville. We lived in Jackson TN for a couple of years and going through Nashville has some great places to video. Even North up to Louisville there are some very beautiful places to go. Now that we have a couple of drones, travel plans are totally different. We are not looking for the quickest route, we are looking at the route that has the most places that we can slow things down and take in the sites and have a good time enjoying the sites and the best places to see in a different way… I think everyone on this site knows exactly what I’m talking about.
I will follow up with our trip and let everyone know how precious our new grand baby is…. LOL….

BTW: We lived in Indianpolis for a few years. I flew Lifeline EMS Helicopter at Methodist Hospital for a couple of years. Loved it but moved to Dallas because my dad got cancer and moved closer to him. Good grief, that was 20 years ago. Man has time flown by….

Thanks to everyone….
 
Can’t fly there, but Shiloh Battlefield is cool spot. Good spots to fly along the TN River outside the park. House that Grant used as HQ is still there on the river in Savannah, Tn
 
That sounds great. My wife surprised me with an Avata 2 fly more package and my son added several extras. I think when we head home I’m going to go through TN and get some good footage. Thanks for the suggestion. We lived in TN for a couple of years a lifetime ago. It will be good to go back and see some good sites. Thanks for the info. I think I will go there on the way home and get some awesome footage.
This new Avata 2 is one cool drone. I have about 45 minutes of flight with the googles but I am hooked. My Mavic 2 and my Air 2S are great but I am now hooked on the Avata 2 is a new way to fly. I was an EMS Helicopter pilot for many years. I crashed in 2001 and I’m now a paraplegic so I don’t fly any more, this FPV is as close to flying again as I can get. IT IS WONDERFUL….
