I have an RC helicopter but it is very difficult to fly outside where there is wind.....   and in Oklahoma there is almost always wind.

look up Helicopter Sucked Into Tornado on youtube other one!

Enjoyed the photos and info about the tours to Israel.

I don't own a drone but was nearly hit in the head with one several months ago!  Some young guys were flying it very low over traffic on our busy Wilshire Blvd.  As I walked by them, they suddenly brought the drone to the sidewalk area just above my head!   I threw my hands over my head and screamed!   The drone crashed....  I don't know why they picked such a busy place to fly it...I guess some guys in their early 20s don't think?

Anyhow, haven't seen a drone since....

That's crazy!  I don't know why people don't use some common sense!  :)   If they are cheap drones - they are nearly impossible to fly without real control -- and it doesn't come with avoidance features -- those are the drones you NEED to avoid!

The drone I have -- if you fly straight into a building let's say -- it'll stop a foot from the building and just hover.  

But since you said, Wilshire bvld ... you're in California?  If so ... that explains a lot!  ;)

Yes, in Los Angeles...been here since 1967!   From Pennsylvania originally.   Yes, lots of things happen here where you can say "that explains alot!" Sometimes it's like living on a different planet! ? That is a good drone you have... didn't realize they would stop like that.

I got up early to see if I could get a good sunrise picture over Sodom and Gomorrah.   However, I need to get another filter to handle the sunrise.  However, you'll get a good understanding of what the site looks like from above.

 

This is incredible that you can be at a place like this and there's no people around!! Incredible scenery! How far are you from your car?

Thanks George for posting these pic/videos, they truly are cool to see especially for some of us who will never be traveling there. Just to know that a lot of the bible stories where written from these places is just wow! I so appreciate you sharing. thank you very much. ?
