Who's flying today, and where? Anything special for New Year's Day?

[Droning on and on...]

Any special flying excursions planned to ring in the new year?

I will today be documenting round 2 of Mother Nature punishing Santa Cruz again in less than a year for all our sinful, hedonistic ways. She hammered us again last week, all sorts of damage. Looks a lot like these videos I did a year ago...

Nice Videos! Happy New Year!

Thanks, and same to you!

I await all the grief for the multitude of rules I violated in that second video. My only excuse is after the impact of those storms, I was focused on other things. And I did try to avoid flying over people and cars, albeit not 100% successfully

The biggest violation was BVLOS and no spotter. In this exceptional case, I can live with that, and hope the FAA will continue to not see this video as a high priority for enforcement, as seems to be the case so far.
