Flying down 30A
I flew down 30A to try to video how crowded the beach was and where chairs were set up and such. I could have been closer or shot it with something other than a GoPro. It’s easier to see full screen on the computer or on a TV.
Anyway, here is about 10 minutes of flying down the coast from Inlet into Destin. I didn’t speed it up or break it up, but you can jump to the area you want to see. I usually just pull out my phone and get clips when I want to share what a stretch looks like. When I do that, I get a much more zoomed-in look than the GoPro footage captured. I didn’t realize how distant it looked until I landed.
Bad weather rolled in over the next few days, and I had to get back to work. Also, this time of year there are a lot of banner tow planes and tour helicopters under the 1,000 feet I was flying at. I may get a better video later since I’m regularly flying around out there.
I think it’s fun to see 30A from the sky and where development is versus state parks and such. I could be biased because I love being in the air, flying around.
