Hi everyone, this was a special day in Ashland Oregon. I was asked to film using my drone of the airport operations during the 26th annual Airport Day. We set up communication's with the airman flying this event and my drone was located in an special designated area. Safety was paramount and we all worked together for this successful day.
Erickson Air-Crane flew the Sikorsky S-64 Sky-crane with water drop that is used supporting forest fires for all West Coast States. Helicopter and airplane rides were also happening for the Kids and Adults.
The airshow director asked for some samples of our work so.... I just did some quick edits on the DJI GO 4 app with links to Skypixel from my iPad... he was blown away. So it looks like we will be doing more in the future Of course, the 4K videos are spectacular and will be provided to the customer.
