So I just finished installing the new HDMI board on my controller and decided to sit outback in my driveway and fly my P3 straight up for a little testing. Started up and everything seemed fine. Started to get a little altitude maybe about 75 to 80 feet, when I could hear a really load airplane come over my house from behind me.
So I stopped going up and turned around and a what looked like a C-130 comes flying right over my house. My first thought was this guy is in trouble, I don't live by and airport so this in eleven years has never happened. I know there was an air show to the north of me this weekend so maybe this guy is going back home. Or headed back to Colorado Springs.
But here is the crazy part, he was only about 350 to maybe 400 feet above me! I was just about to go straight up that high and get a shot of the sunset. Wow this is crazy, I mean I was looking right straight at the belly of his aircraft. After he went over I shot some quick video and here is a crop from the video.
Not sure why a C-130 can fly that low over a residential area, but whatever! LOL
