Great video! This is so good it could be used as a promotional video. Did you have to get permission to fly in any of the areas? Last time I was downtown I was wondering if I needed permission to fly there.
Thank you so much! Greatly appreciated!
Believe it or not, all of the flying was done outside of no fly zones. The main area that is NFZ is above and around soldier field, and all the way out by Midway Airport, so I was not able to launch within about a half mile radius around the stadium. Everywhere else seems to be fair game!
I did have a little trouble with some guy (not an officer) telling me I couldn't fly there because there were "too many people" (even though I was over the water the entire time), when I was flying off the end of Navy Pier. I was bringing it back in at that point, so I spared him my planned speech on how the FAA says it's ok to fly there, so what authority does he have, etc. and I just packed up and left... |
