Hi everyone!

  

  

Here’s a taste of the beautiful aerial sights that northern and central Pennsylvania have to offer, with the Welcome Center on US Route 15 as center stage.

  

  

As always, thanks for watching. Any comments, questions, Likes, and new subscribers are much appreciated!

It's worth mentioning that by the end of the shoot, an employee of the Welcome Center came by and politely asked if I could stop flying.

I explained that there were no FAA flying restrictions in that area, and that I didn't find any other restrictions when I did the research before deciding to fly from there. I also pointed out that the rules of use they had posted on site, which listed what activities could and could not be carried out there, had no mention of RC aircraft or drones.

So when I asked why, he confessed that he wasn't really sure, but he had called his boss, and was told I should not be flying, citing some restrictions set by the Army Corps of Engineers over the water reservoir that was near (about a mile away...). But again, he could not elaborate.

Given that the guy wasn't being rude or confrontational, and I already had time to shoot most of the footage I was looking for, I landed and he ended up asking me about the features of the Phantom and chatting about how there's still a lot of misconceptions around this emerging technology.

No harm done, but unfortunately it's one more of the many "you can't fly here" stories we all seem to live at some point...

Nice smooth footage. Looks like a nice place to fly, too bad you can't go back and bummer that the public are so nervous over drones. This is my second (or maybe first now) hobby that makes people uneasy. I'm also a metal detectorist.

Thanks! Yeah, unfortunately there's still a long road ahead in both clear regulations and public perception.
