Flying in Louisiana: Taking a Chance
After struggling with bad weather in Louisiana, Amanda found a last minute opportunity to fly over a local farmer’s cornfield. Despite her shyness, she asked permission, checked all flight apps, and embraced the challenge. The flight offered her beautiful golden sunlight, silos, and farmland scenery while allowing her to practice new drone techniques she had recently learned.
Visiting Family and Flying in Mississippi
Mississippi held special meaning for Amanda, as it is her father’s home state. She visited Lucedale, met family, and took time to fly over ponds on their property. This flight helped her practice navigating wind gusts and flying over water while enjoying golden hour light, connecting personal memories with her drone journey.
Coastal Flight at Pascagoula
Amanda continued south to Pascagoula to capture the Mississippi coastline. Despite strong winds and restricted airspace, she flew safely, engaging curious onlookers from a nearby assisted living facility.
