This was my first video to feature a plane. The preview image shows the scene where my father and I were flying the family plane, which we refer to as “The Demon”, around the Bretton Woods side of Mount Washington in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Mount Washington is most prominent mountain on the East Coast, even more topographically prominent than nearly all mountains in Colorado, including Pikes Peak.
As I’ve gotten more comfortable with my drone, I’ve gotten better at capturing scenes with the drone far away from where I’m standing with the controller. (With visual observers, of course, in case the FAA is reading my blog). The scene with the kite ski was filmed while I’ll sat comfortably in my porch. The lighthouse scene in Portsmouth, NH was filmed all the way across the harbor in New Castle at Fort Stark.
In addition to being a drone pilot, I’m also a private pilot, so I’ll be sure to feature more aviation content as time goes on. I’ll also go into more depth on the technical aspects of my drone in future posts.
