Drone Farmington, New Mexico | Drone & Drive

If you get in the northwest of New Mexico, you need to see this beautiful small city, Farmington, New Mexico. I show both the drone view and a small downtown drive view, but you can only enjoy this city by walking around and talking with the locals :) This was a precision flight with me not getting the views I wanted. The FAA B4UFly App told me I was cleared for 200' which is much more than I need usually; however, the Aloft app told me I could only fly at 50'. This was the first time I have seen such a big discrepancy for permissions. Normally I am allowed to fly at the highest structure which in this case was about 75' for the antenna and about what I wanted to film at. As you saw a tree and a building on my route were both above the flight altitude of 50'. Thankfully with about seven years and thousands of hours experience I am comfortable flying anywhere and happy when I can :)

I hope you enjoy and subscribe to this YouTube drone channel while seeing my travels from an aerial view above nature, towns and cities in the UK, Ireland, Europe, Australia, US, Canada, and several islands @    / jamesbebop   . Or please visit my photo website with photos of 49 countries/islands, all 50 states and all but one province in Canada that I could not drive through at www.JGlowacki.com . I love to drive throughout the world whether on the right or left with either left-hand steering or right-hand steering and of course I have become accustomed to using a stick-shift with both hands :) I truly enjoy the great food and discussions with locals where I have been blessed to travel. Included on this channel are some driving and snorkeling videos and even a couple bike rides I recorded.

You can also see my beginning drone videos looking at 2016 dates when I filmed in safe nature areas. I practiced how to crash safely, how to fly with three propellers and how to ground the drone and drive to it. I practiced in snow, rain and extreme cold to make sure I understood the drones limitations before I went to the big cities. I handle a drone like I do a gun and I truly hope others do the same.

Please share your thoughts with me; even if they are not easy to read, I need to know how I am meeting your expectations 😊

Thank you,
James
