Sorry if this has been shared before.

That’s the best close proximity drone flying I’ve ever seen. Yes it’s sped up at times but some of these long shots have no edits at all. Incredible video. Thanks for posting.

Reminds me of the Spiderman 3-D ride at Islands of Adventure in Orlando.  Love it!!

[Cassman]

I'm confused by the video -- I paused when it was looking directly at the Duke Energy Center and there was no reflection of a drone...

Great video.  Yea couple sections little less speed perhaps, but that's just editing prerogative, I like the pace.  Still beats our Amazon HQ2 video.

[Nick2]

Holy cow! I can't pick a favorite part because it's so awesome! And I can't believe the skill of the flyer either.

Lol that's definatley a FPV racing drone. Very fast and can turn on a dime as you saw. The pilot has goggles on and basically flying first person view which allows them to maneuver in incredibly tight spaces and fly extremely close to objects. You can see these bad boys flying on ESPN occasionally. Charlotte actually hosted a drone national race at the old historic Savona Mill next to the brewery that just escaped my brain. Was awesome, you can find clips on YouTube of it. Coolest drone video of clt I've seen, hell of a pilot.

some color on a cloudy day.  Spring has sprung in Charlotte and yes maybe temperatures will dip again but it has started. Cherry trees and bradford pears blooming.  Tulips too.

Beautiful photos!!!

Spring is in full bloom here in Chapel Hill too.  The UNC and Duke campuses look stunning!

@Urban Cowboy Thanks for sharing that photo. Here is a comparison with a photo taken from the same vantage point in 1985.

Haven’t posted in ages, but need to get back “in the game”.

My son got a new job working in the visitors clubhouse at BB&T, and I took this after Fuman lost to Wake Forest on Saturday.

Hope it is an acceptable return to a GREAT forum.

The view from the rooftop of my job.

This is a panoramic shot of from the same angle.

Ugh and I just said something nice about LU1 in its thread!  Desperately need this thing blocked up at least to its halfway point from all visible angles.
