Default Drone video over TV...
is anyone aware of a nice HD video or such showing The Villages from the air. I mean like a drone video flyover most/all of TV showing the area. We think it would be so interesting - and beautiful. We did see a few video 'shorts', one of which in a recent online V-Mail from TV Marketing.

It would be a hoot to get a great view of all TV's beauty from the air. It would also be a wonderful marketing tool for Sales, as if they need to entice buyers much...

Happy 2015 to all the nice TV folks...

Watch for low flying planes.

I'm not sure that The Villages would look so beautiful from the air. All you'd see would be rooftops and roads.

I will in no way ever support the use of a drone on our own soil, or any monitoring system. I may be a lot younger than the general population, but even I've read 1984.

In this case, I know it's harmless and even I would like to see an aerial tour of the Villages and it's beauty (Many hidden secrets of the Villages worth exploring) but I could never get myself to support the use of drones. It's just an early step...

Drones are only the latest avenue of surveilance. If you fear being watched by drones, you missed a lot of the technology you use every single day that offers significantly more, ongoing invasive opportunities.

There are many and have been many many avenues for the government or anyone to spy on us. Keeping a piece of black tape over your web cam in my eyes is a good idea, the NSA and many other people already have the power to spy on us 24/7.

All I'm saying is that I don't agree with letting even more ways for them to spy on us, as I feel they're power should be stripped in the first place.

Like I said, I only contributed my opinion about drones. We're not talking about every other problem we have with our privacy being stripped away.

I'm usually naked in front of my "web cam"...............that will teach them.

Have you seen these? I think it's mainly over Sanibel.

Also, do you have the promotional DVD from The Villages? It has some pretty cool aerial
shots.

and another short one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgPM26DpVok

Drone over Sanibel was excellent. Technology for everyone has been the theme for our generation. The Space Program lives on.

Are you sure it is a drone. We've had lots of helicopter traffic south of 466A recently.

I didn't check. Are you worried? Should I be worried?
