Unique footage of a seaplane takeoff - Maldives

[dronie]

I was several times given a unique opportunity by the captains of the seaplanes at the resort, to film their takeoff at sunrise. We did this in full cooperation with the captains and crew (no drone regulations are in effect), using a spotter and staying behind the aircraft at takeoff at all times making it impossible for the drone to catch up in case of an unlikely flyaway. RTH point was also set behind the plane.

A truly unique view of a seaplane takeoff. Happy Flying.
