Coit Tower Night Dive

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

Coit Tower is an art deco architectural masterpiece on Telegraph Hill in the heart of San Francisco.  It is dedicated to those who perished in major fires in San Francisco, including the fire which occurred in connection with the great 1906 earthquake and which actually was responsible for most of the damage in the catastrophe.  In this video, top drone racing pilot and contributor SFPV flew a racing quadcopter via first person view (FPV) over this iconic California landmark, which sits in the USA's Register of Historic Places.

I finally took a chance and flew at Coit Tower, something I've been wanting to do for a while now. I got some great footage but almost lost my drone because I couldn't see where to land. All I could see was the tower in my FPV feed because my camera was not set up properly.

I ended up landing at the flagpole thinking we could walk up there, but I was wrong! We had to have some locals help boost me up a few levels and then I had to climb a ladder to retrieve the drone. We got it back and more importantly, saved the footage! :)
