This guy is a bit if a cowboy, super fun flying with him!
As it turns out, I think you love to be that guy! Haha.I hate to be "that guy" and that looks fun but don't let the FAA see this bro! Even if he was game, its rather illegal to be anywhere near that kind of proximity to manned aircraft with a drone. His Aircraft identity is clear too. You would never get a waiver from the FAA even if you asked.
I just don't want other forum visitors getting ideas that could seriously end their fun hobby.
I wasn't clear enough, sorry.I would think it takes more than a chat to clear something like that. I’m not sure on that but bet @BigAl07 can confirm
that would be enough.
I’m sorry too,They cleared the flight after the fact. That makes no sense. Sorry but I will let BigA107 confirm that’s possible.
He would know of all people what you can or can’t do.
If he can’t he knows who to talk to.
Im sorry but think Futuramille was dead on. At this point
with the FAA we don’t need cowboys. Helo pilots or drone
pilots . We are being attacked from all sides as it is.
You mean sorry you edited your post I just put back.I’m sorry too,

There you go you can’t edit that.?I wasn't clear enough, sorry.
They called us because of a tip online likely from someone who "hates to be that guy"
and talked to the owner of the helicopter company, and the pilot who flew the bird, and they cleared the flight after hearing the explanation of the circumstances from both of them.
let me know if I can answer any other questions or concerns,

Ah man yeah you got me.You mean sorry you edited your post I just put back.
There you go you can’t edit that.?
sounds good all,Well though the video might look cool and show good flying skills i‘m pretty sure members here know where my concerns where and with us haveing way more visitors
than members looking here and most likely young
IMOA it wasn’t cool.
I‘m out and have a good weekend all.
Serious question for y’all.
we were in class G airspace.
We agreed to “formation flying”
We planned each route I would fly and he would fly for each shot
I had a spotter standing right next to me.
I maintained constant communication with the pilot via radio.
the video was later reported to the FAA and (you guys can believe me or not with this one I really don’t care) they called the helicopter company and spoke with the owner and the thing they were most concerned about was “was the pilot aware of the drone?”
what type of waivers and fines are you referring to? thanks in advance for your time
