Nice one… looks like you were fighting wind on the way over – glad you got it back 😉
Barbaro.
Wish we could see the takeoff and landing but I have an idea that you cut those out to curb all the annoying complainers.
Best flight yet! Awesome how you went all the way to the prison and flew around it for a little bit. We want to see the take off and landing footage ☹️.
