Just looking for the truth.

Thanks for your dedication on Our community.
My altitude limit by the FAA is 400 ft., the footage at Hawkins and St C. are at 350 +/- ft. so that gives you a pretty good idea of the max views I can get. As far as the prisons and mines go, these are no-fly zones by the FAA and the state of Florida. I have not desire to lose my license or do time in jail to get shots of these areas.

The most up-to-date maps I can find are at https://www.arcgis.com/index.html

Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero
Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. - Thomas Paine, 1/10/1776
