Above Sunnyvale

Found a few safe landing zones in North Sunnyvale to lift off from. 1 area is closer to the subject of interest, but with higher risk of getting jammed.

Had a day job here in 2000, in a building which has since been destroyed& replaced. Our old man worked across the street in the 80's.

He got busted 4 trying to photograph a satellite dish near this bluecube. Now it's probably going 2 B torn down. Fly near it & U will be jammed.

Towards San Jose

400ft feels really low. Not likely to get any higher in this area.

  • hi Jack ,
    can you tell me the setup of your video and photo( second pic in particular) , it is so crisp and clear . I liked the clarity of it , looks as if it was taken with tripod setup from a high elevation( like a tall building or mountain), i am interested in doing some landscape photography, any help with info on the camera and model carrying it would be highly appreciated. thanks
  • In that last photo you can clearly see the Yahoo! campus—where I used to work. I always thought about taking an RC plane up there but it's really close to Moffett. Here's the view from the campus towards that hill (which we called "Mt. Trashmore" affectionately because it's a retired landfill.
  • That BLUE CUBE looks like a Project Echelon - Receiving Site. Google - Project Echelon and you will know what it is :)
