Avatar construction aerial updates

DHS doesn't seem to be in the no-fly zone. Blizzard Beach isn't, either.

Yeah most of the southern section of WDW isn't covered by the No Fly Zone. It's odd were they chose the center point. I would have personally put it a bit father south but oh well. I think the main thing is they didn't want flying banners and sky writers over Magic Kingdom.

The subject of shooting down drones has come up quite a bit lately. Gizmodo did a fair article on the subject, but the Reader's Digest version is this...

1. Drones and all other RC aircraft are currently legally defined as "aircraft". The law makes no distinction between a DJI Phantom and a Boeing 777. That makes even shooting at a drone a federal crime.
2. You don't control that airspace over your property, the FAA does. If a drone is 1" above your grass it is, from a legal standpoint, not on your property.
3. Some states do have drone surveillance laws, but none to my knowledge legally allow the shooting down of an offender.
4. About the only legal argument for shooting down a drone is if you are being physically attacked by one.

Prove that I shot the drone.

So very sad each time I see this thread come alive, and neither of our two
fliers has been active. I do hope they are OK.

That is usually not all that hard considering that most have a camera attached.

I know, and rude as it may sound, I almost wish write access to this thread were limited to @photoflight and @Scuttle , at least until new imagery were available. As I get all fired up and then disappointed when I see nothing new when I open the thread.

Yeah. But it would have to be pointed in my direction. Besides, I am sure I am not the only one that can pick one of these off with a .22 long rifle from a distance.

Look for the words "attached a file" to the thread. If you don't see that then there is a good chance there are no further photos. Better yet, wait for their names to show as the most recent posters.

Im thinking that photoflight may have been asked by Disney not to take anymore aerials or atleast not to post them. Its rare that he would go this long without.

Then just say so. It's a theme park, not a military secret. "Hey, guys, Disney has asked me not to post pics, and I agreed out of a desire to help keep this one a secret. Plus they gave me a free Mickey bar for my cooperation. Sorry, but we'll all just have to wait."

I think he's been taking pics every week. He occasionally pokes his head in here and laughs and laughs.

I always come back to this thread hoping for some new aerials finally, but unfortunately rare have we gotten those since about the first three months of the year.

 

[JPPT1974]

Just hope he can take the time to post them.

Thanks for nothing!

Any updates on when this project will be completed? I went back 5 or 6 pages and couldn't find anything. Thanks.

I do find it odd that PhotoMap has an aerial picture on June 23, 2015 of Clearwater Beach, FL but still the same image from December 15, 2015 for WDW. Interesting
