A short UAV Video of 1 of the only 2 Russian Towers that remain in Berlin. Sorry it is short, I was a victim of DJI's failed firmware update, which almost caused me to lose my Phantom on more than one occasion. Who would have thought, 20 years from the time I was going through Checkpoint Charlie, I'd be droning a tower; thank you "President Ronald Reagan."

Long before fur traders, soldiers and settlers came to the Maumee Valley, the river and its banks were studded with Indian villages. In 1794 General Anthony Wayne marched his legion down along the river to the site the French called Roche de Boeuf, a large island outcropping of natural limestone where the Ottawa Indians held their councils. Opposite it on the west bank Wayne contructed Fort Dep...

While in Germany, I took out the P2V for a test flight. Moments later, a curious neighbor comes up to say hi. He has a friend that works at Zweibrucken Airport and was very interested in the drone. Although he was very nervous, I had him up and flying in no time.... taking videos and photos of his house at 7 Bitscher Str, Contwig Germany. I hope he gets a chance to see this.

This video shed some light on the whereabouts, because I walked to Homburg to shop (and that felt great) and caught a bus to school.😮 Why?

    Nice video. At 6:01 into the video you have indicated the exact spot where my Vermont ancestors fjorded the Maumee (Hull's Crossing) on their westward migration to Iowa and eventually South Dakota. As a Toledoan, I played and waded in this crossing as a kid, not knowing that my ancestors in the 1850's, had passed through the exact same spot.

    Holy nostalgia! My dad was stationed there starting in late '89/early '90 until about fall '92. Finished Kindergarten and spent all of 1st grade @ Kruezberg Elementary. I started 2nd grade in Wisconsin while my dad was deployed, finished 2nd grade @ Kruezberg, then started 3rd grade there before we moved back to the US for good. I don't remember who I finished 5K with. For 1st grade my teacher was Peggy Gordon. For 2nd grade, I had Mr Johnson. I don't remember his first name. For 3rd grade, I had Mrs. Chibaro, and I can't remember her name either. If anyone sees this and remembers me from back then, feel free to get in touch. That includes my old teachers. All the best everyone!

    We lived on base in Family housing from early 1972, to 1975. I remember the building was white with dark green roof and trim. The back yard bordered a family farm. I used to stick my fingers through the fence to try to pet the farmers chickens until one pecked my fingers, tore them up. I still have photos from that time. I was 3 months when we got there, three years old when we left...

I spent many mornings walking with my Oma into town for brotchen. We always stopped at the candy store and I got Milka for the brotchen and a few gummy's.
