Last year I took one of my first flights to the decommissioned Rancho Seco Nuclear Power Plant. At the time I was unaware of the flying rules around structures so I stayed at the 400ft AGL limit and didn't get any shots above the cooling towers. This flight changed that . However unlike last year, there was a no-fly zone geo fence added to this area, or at least I dont remeber one being there. So I skimmed its boundary like white on rice.

Amazing footage of the cooling towers. One of my favorite shots was around frame 2:08 to 2:12 of the large bird capturing the wind inside the tower for flight.

Thank you B1. I love the little random stuff I see in post like those birds. Which I am curious to know why the turkey vultures were buzzing the towers. Perhaps something died in there and the dinner bell was ringing.

Thanks Sherman! Too bad I don't know the right people to get a tour of the top of the towers.

That's funny. Because I was envisioned that very thing while watching.

head tracking would have been awesome.
