Ken, you are an amazing pilot! If I didn’t live 890 miles from you, I would hire you for tips, tricks and smooth moves as only you can do. Thanks for the many hours of quality entertainment in allowing us to see things we would never get to see. Well done Sir!!!

This was extremely enjoyable. You had me at "let's see what the cop says". Thanks for putting this up. Its too much fun.

Hey Ken this is one of the best vids you have done! Great location and explanation prior to the flight of the process to obtain LAANC approval and the launch process. Nice views of the building and footage to show the top and restaurant. You have more guts that most of us for sure! Get your preorder in for the Skydio 2 so we get your evaluation of it.

So good to see you flying some more, GREAT WORK SIR!! And the cop was AWESOME! Respect to Ryan.

Cool! But to clarify for everyone - Recreational pilots CANNOT fly above 400 AGL under any circumstance. I was unsure so submitted the question directly to the FAA. They replied that Part 107 pilots have the exception to fly over 400' if within 400' of a taller structure, but this exception does not apply to hobbists.

Hi Kaine. Unrestricted areas is not a problem but flying over Villages or Towns is unauthorized without permission which could include having to apply to 3 different bodies....Local TownHall.....AESA ...Military body. We operate through a website called .......drones.enaire.es. Which we use to check unauthorized air space, controlled airspace and restricted air space ( application needed in all cases). These can take 10 days each to get permission which normally comes back as a NO NO. We have no mobile apps designed to operate in Spain and no office that would handle an application made on a phone. We are truly in the fckin dark ages in Spain. The application process usually removes the enthusiasm to do the flight and fines are uncontrolled and can be any stupid number.

You provide what I shan’t to see (and do). Thank!

Hey Ken thanks for teaching us how to be safe and how to use the drone properly in different scenarios. I love your videos and just to add something about cops, I was setting up my inspire1 to fly it at Palm Beach Island which is an Island for wealthy people, I already had checked the air space and everything was a "go" when a cop approached me and asked me what I was trying to accomplish, because people call the police around here on droners, so I told him that I wanted to film some scenery right next to the ocean, while I was talking at the same time showing him my FAA registration and whatnot, when he replied: Ok, just fly I will go away, hopefully no body would call on you, have fun, by the way I fly drones too. And then he drove off. I gave my wife a look who was serving as a spotter at the time, totally speechless because I was expecting a scolding instead a "have fun".
