i flew first sound of horn.
I was actually listening for Olivia when heard the train..
Olivia is well and all is good btw.. For sure be back next season..
Wholly the mini 3 Pro has  definitely some  serious power..
That train was travelling an easy 60 klicks (sorry im canadian)..
Anyway yeah,, that was a rather fun and exhilarating flight..
Totally spur of the moment and absolutely no plan
Just did it and threw it out there ..
Thanks Blériot!!  

p.s..

yes had Montfrooij in mind when did this ;)

Remarkable capture Johnny.    Like a good Boy Scout you seemed to be well prepared.  Great job of flying, filming and editing.  You got to love the Mini 3 Pro as it is such a beast for its small size.

Why do you feel the need to apologise for being Canadian
Unless you know something we don't

The drone kept up well with the train...

Nice work Johnny.

Nice chase!!! What stoped you the distance or the battery

That's something that may have escaped our attention in the UK.
But "clicks" is a common enough military expression for Kms

oh for sure yes I knows yous knows ;)
clicks is so much easier to say than kilometers and I was here when they brought it into
our curriculum in about '74'..
Klicks is how we spell it here and it is everyday reference. Not new to me so when I saw it
on his channel I actually laughed out loud ..

Subbed your channel Johnny.
