After yesterday's flights my official flight distance has now passed 13.2 million feet (more than 4,000 KM) flying DJI drones (mainly Mavic's), using only DJI apps that have properly synced to the flight centre. It's amazing how quickly the miles build up over the years. This is the equivalent of flying from London, England to Moscow, Russia as the crow flies

Bravo!   How many Air Miles does that get you?  Impressive Stats, AJ

I wish
I wonder if my flight distance will circumnavigate the globe before I pack it all in - just another 118,000,000 feet to go

Quick calculation makes it another 36 years at the rate you're going. So the odds are on your side young fella   Or if you increase your output, you increase your odds of succeeding   Bit late for me - I'd have to fly 20 hours per day

You never know with this tech, we may have drones that can fly internationally in the future - I could fly over the channel and give you a wave with my Mavic 27

Careful! If you invade my airspace my Mavic 28 may shoot you down

Hahahahahaha - I really hope these drones don't shift in that direction (other than military of course)

The rate at which technology is developing - who knows?

But for now, we'll enjoy what we have and here's to another 2,500 miles

Many congrats!
I think you must be one of the very few!

I've seen some with far more but yeah, only a handful with more than 10 mill

One day you will be the one I guess.

Thank you Yoda

Thanks Gamora - loved every mile too (bar one where I crashed)

Hahahahahahaha Cool film

wow - that's impressive AJ.  Ive only got 12 million feet to catch up.

Even a million is good going mate.

Im only LV25 you must be off the scale.

I do have 5 flags though.

I deleted the GO4 app and that LV scale isn't used on the Fly App

DAFlys Posted at 10-29 01:56

Just the one for me though England and Wales. Yet to take a drone abroad

A J Posted at 10-29 01:29
Hahahahahahaha  Cool film

Long long long time ago that I watched that one!

Same here - way back in the day

Its a bit hard at the moment as well.

I didnt realise they dropped that one.

They were nice!

Yeah, we cancelled Cyprus earlier this year and sadly have no intention of catching a plane for the foreseeable!

Yeah, the Fly app appears to be all about simplicity and minimalism

I think the level thing just confused people really.

Same for us - I think it will be quite a while too - even 2022 at this rate

It has absolutely no meaning TBH

Im not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel yet either.

It's going to be quite some time -it either needs to be totally controlled (which is almost impossible without implementing some sort of draconian martial law) or a vaccine needs to be discovered or we simply learn to live with it like we do the flu and common cold.

Congratulations AJ on the 2.500 miles milestone, that really is some flying right there, and that's just on the DJI Drones, do you fly other drones AJ, like FPV, Aeroplanes/helicopters, because if so, you have more than likely racked up a helluva lot more than 2.500 miles .

Still an excellent milestone to hit.

Thanks very much.
I started out in Aug 2016 with a propel drone but that didn't last long. I've also flown other drones owned by friends and used non DJI apps like litchi plus quite a number of my flights have not uploaded successfully so this is indeed my minimum distance but at least 'official'.

Congrats! Thats quite the distance!
