This was a great video. I live within 30 miles from Evansville and I've had the privilege to take the tour on the LST a couple of times over the last several years. Its full of great historical artifacts and displays. Now I need to plan another trip to the LST so I can see how they used your footage. Great job Ken.
My father as a Navy Seabee in 1943 was transported from Noumea New Caledonia to Townsville Australia on LST 448. Then after loading up there, LST 448 landed on Woodlark as part of Operation Cartwheel . LST 448 was later five bombed by the Japanese in the northern Solomon Islands with heavy loss of life, snd sank while being towed south for repairs
Thank you for doing something fun! The impact at the end was indeed Risky. It was also good to meet you and see your drone mobile while in Huntington. ~Chuck Jaeger
3:57 yup - experienced that boat landing joy most recently too on the waters of Lake Minnetonka where we went to cleanse our souls… 7:33 I drive by the lead locks of Mississippi always hoping for such a day; 9:24 DAM 9:33 double dam…. 13:30 epic promotion shot captured …. Let’s just hit this gap out of frame for a little funzies😅 18:13 wow this thing seems huge 👏👏👏
Blow that whistle! What an amazing opportunity and wonderful presentation. I like how he used the paper map. Good timing on that power loop and fun to see you using all the different drones. Risk it for the Biscuit! I see they will be here in Pittsburgh Over the Labor day weekend!
Really great Ken and support team, glad you are finally getting the doors and hatches open to you to do these special places. Well done Ken well done:)
I’m only 35miles from Owensboro. Would love to have seen this going up the Ohio River. You had an opportunity of a lifetime and you rocked it. Like a BOSS. Nice flying Ken. See you at Mindfield.
Cool trip gonna put that on the bucket list. Here in Virginia. I'm gonna make that trip to see that bad boy. We love you guy's an crew. Great history lesson. Keep on flying my friends
My wife recently flew her drone around the USS Lexington... I also flew around that LST-325 ship a year ago before it left for the trip to get recertified at Galveston. Thanks for sharing...
A lot of history on that ship and you showed it well. Got some great penetration with the avata 2. I puckered up when it crashed into the ship over water. You look like you had a full day of fun. Great video!!
Yeah, I was amazed how the Avata went below decks in a steel ship with no signal breakup. Almost a surreal level of penetration...that's what sh...nevermind.
This is wonderful! I am an old LST sailor myself from the 1970's class LSTs! This LST preceded my LST but nonetheless just as special! We are/were known as the Gator Navy! My LST had the pleasure and honor of going through all 21 locks in 1978 through the Great Lakes! I'll return to elaborate when I have time. Enjoy this fabulous amphib ship! God bless!
Awesome videos, Ken. My oldest daughter lives in Evansville and I've toured the LST. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and visit this historic vessel.
Just celebrated the liberation, 80 years, of the Province, south of France by the US marines, so your wonderful video just made it so real. (And hoping that the journey for the third world war would stop) 🇫🇷
Another great video just do you know I'm always available If you need a spotter or second pilot man how much fun that would be thanks Ken for another great video 👍👍👍👍
Remarkable job flying inside and outside the LST325. It seems to me that I recall you making footage of this ship a while back. Is this a new video or a replay? Amazing Piloting either way! Bravo Sir!!!
17 days ago I videoed the USS Cobia in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. It's a WWII submarine. It was to close quartered to fly inside but I did the outside full justice. I'd been there 25 years ago for work and accidently found the museum on some downtime. I swore that, God willing, I'd come back. And 25 years later, I was there. Praise The Lord Jesus!!!!
How do you maintain a good signal strength inside a metal structure? I noticed in an earlier video you had to be pushed around on a chair when doing a house interior.
So glad you enjoyed it! It acted a little funny after it was flying for so long with zero satellites when it finally got one it didn't know what to do with it.
May I use some of this footage, (tagging you in it) for my video. I ghost hunted this ship and I don't have a drone? If not it's totally ok but I wanted to ask.
This was a great video. I like the history side of it. Question - When you came through the lock you stated that it was critical infrastructure and that you need special permission to fly there. My question is how did you know it was critical infrastructure? I looked at several maps and NOTAMs and couldn't find the lock listed on anything. Is there a map for "critical infrastructure"?
Critical infrastructure at the lock? Was there an FAA restricted or prohibited zone? We have a “critical infrastructure” law in my state and its simply not enforceable in any way I can see.
This video brings positivity to the wild flying drone community! Great job Ken!!!
Thanks 👍
🎉
Thanks Ken!!! I really enjoyed this video
What a super awasome video Ken 👌 Thanks for hunting down success!
😊♥️
I am still tired and a little dehydrated, but that was one of the highlights of my life. And, we only yelled at each other once. Win win.
Couldn't have done it without you buddy! 😊👍

So glad you did! History like that is so important to preserve and share.
🇺🇲👍
This is the one the coolest videos I’ve seen from you yet. Keep it up!
Wow, thanks!😊

👏👏👏
One AWESOME video! Glad that this piece of our history is still in service for people to visit!
Thanks Chuck!
It's important to preserve our history. 🇺🇲

Thank YOU sir!
Great to hear from our treasured veterans. 🇺🇲☺️

Fly that ship, Rob!
Really great Ken and support team, glad you are finally getting the doors and hatches open to you to do these special places. Well done Ken well done:)
I feel very fortunate to have been granted access in a free lift on an amazing vessel. 🇺🇲👍
You are truly talented to be able to talk your way onto a Navy boat like that. Very impressive they let you do that.
They were very kind to do so. 🇺🇲
Another great and fun video! Thanks Ken!
You bet!
What a great vid! Thanks Ken!
Much appreciated Tony!
That's stunningly clear. Great job men!!!

Really cool video. 4 of my uncles and dad was in the navy during WWII. Fortunately they all returned in one piece. Great video.
🇺🇲👍
Awesome flying.

When I grow up I want to be Ken Heron. I might possibly be older than you Ken, but that doesn't change the fact!
HAAA!
Thanks bud. ☺️♥️
Hell, yeah man, always a pleasure watching!!

Such a great group of people to learn history from first hand. 🇺🇲
Thank you for the tour!
You bet!
My wife recently flew her drone around the USS Lexington...

Hey Ken, during this "trip" you were clearly on LST !
HAAAA!🤪
LSD-36 1976-1980. Thank You so much!
🇺🇲👍
Epic footage.
Thanks!
Absolutely awesome!
Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! So much fun to watch!
Glad you enjoyed it kind sir!!
Way too cool, Ken.
Thanks buddy.
Awesome videos, Ken. My oldest daughter lives in Evansville and I've toured the LST. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and visit this historic vessel.
great video, seems like a really nice crew
They were all super nice!
Great flying
Great video, thank you.
You are welcome!
What a great opportunity and video Ken. Thanks for sharing. Like 69 👍😎
I cherished every sweaty hot moment on that ship. ♥️🇺🇲
In Louisville Kentucky yesterday morning. Was impressed how quiet it was.
It's an incredible bit of history.
Livin the Dream Ken is!
Wait a fantastic day to be sure! 😊
Just celebrated the liberation, 80 years, of the Province, south of France by the US marines, so your wonderful video just made it so real. (And hoping that the journey for the third world war would stop) 🇫🇷
Absolutely Peter!
Viva la France!🇫🇷 👍
Well, that was fun. Thank You ! 🤓
You bet!
Amazing footage! ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome! Not something you see everyday. 👍
Cherishing every moment my friend!
Awesome video!
Thank you weird Mark!🇺🇲
Awesome job Ken I think I'm going to order avata can't get over tranmission crazy 😜 Thanks Ken for Awesome show your Canadian Friend Jamie
You'll love it, Jamie!
(Be sure to use my link.)
🇨🇦👍
Great video! 👍👍
Thank you! 👍
floating cannons , what drones were made for , HAZAA. BEAUTIFULL
I'd like to see them come to Arizona lol... Would have to be during "monsoon" season. What an awesome opportunity.
It would take them a month to get out there at 10 miles an hour! 😆
"Please keep away from metal" :)
The metal frame of a table at our field does often cause the need for recalibration for a Phantom 4 as well.
Good times
Awesome sauce!!!
Love it!
You rock, Doc!
I have a friend who sailed on the LST-325 in WW II. He has given me a couple of tours of the ship over the year. If you see him tell Erwin I said Hi.
So great!
Will do. 🇺🇲
Amazing!
Thanks!
Great video
Thanks!
That was indeed a "Love Boat"😘
😀♥️
I can't begin to tell you how jealous I am of your opportunity. Thank you for sharing the experience.
Thanks for watching!😊♥️
Another great video just do you know I'm always available If you need a spotter or second pilot man how much fun that would be thanks Ken for another great video 👍👍👍👍
Cool thanks!
Where are you located?
Remarkable job flying inside and outside the LST325. It seems to me that I recall you making footage of this ship a while back. Is this a new video or a replay?
Amazing Piloting either way! Bravo Sir!!!
The last time I filmed that ship was 6 years ago. This video is from 4 days ago. Super fun day!
Wow Ken I wish I knew you were in town, I live in Owensboro Kentucky
Great City! Beautiful waterways.
Wondering why Evansville? The LST ships and Republic P-47 Thunderbolt warbirds were produced in Evansville, IN.
Evansville was a big manufacturer for the war effort.
i feel like I just went on the coolest school field trip
That's the vibe I was trying to convey! Thanks! 🤓👍
Way cool.
Return to home would be interesting 😜🚁
Absolutely!
Oh this is, Now.
17 days ago I videoed the USS Cobia in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. It's a WWII submarine. It was to close quartered to fly inside but I did the outside full justice. I'd been there 25 years ago for work and accidently found the museum on some downtime. I swore that, God willing, I'd come back. And 25 years later, I was there. Praise The Lord Jesus!!!!
Ken, that was some great flying. But you should’ve known not to depend on the orange drone. Dji is still the best.
I'll have to agree. 👍
How do you maintain a good signal strength inside a metal structure? I noticed in an earlier video you had to be pushed around on a chair when doing a house interior.
I think the metal actually helps.
That, and elfin magic.
The cops going to get you😂😂😂😂😂
Uh-oh. 🤪
Wow thats so cool you got to fly on that ship was it trippy flying and having the boat rock?
It was very trippy being on it, but since it was on a river, it didn't rock all that much. It would be a different story on the ocean!
Another amazing video, love your stuff. Did the drone stop responding to input briefly when it got outside?
So glad you enjoyed it! It acted a little funny after it was flying for so long with zero satellites when it finally got one it didn't know what to do with it.
Don’t fly Drones? Don’t know what you’re missing!
You're dang right Ken! 🤘😎🤘
I have been interested in navy ships and wanna get some w my drone. This tho would be my dream come true
May I use some of this footage, (tagging you in it) for my video. I ghost hunted this ship and I don't have a drone? If not it's totally ok but I wanted to ask.
Sure!
I did the same thing:

This was a great video. I like the history side of it. Question - When you came through the lock you stated that it was critical infrastructure and that you need special permission to fly there. My question is how did you know it was critical infrastructure? I looked at several maps and NOTAMs and couldn't find the lock listed on anything. Is there a map for "critical infrastructure"?
Things like dams, power stations, nuclear plants, substations, coal plants, railroad properties etc. are considered critical infrastructure.
Critical infrastructure at the lock?
Was there an FAA restricted or prohibited zone?
We have a “critical infrastructure” law in my state and its simply not enforceable in any way I can see.
Very nice content! What do you suppose caused the Avata to sideswipe the outside of the LST?
I think when it reacquired GPS it got a little wonky.
When you flew inside with the Avata, did you fly in manual, normal or sport mode? I have had problems flying in a metal structure in GPS modes.
Normal mode
What happen to the German battleship emden.i remember it was firing off the coast of madras during ww2.
Makasaysayan ship marami syang na I hambog 😮😮
So glad you do that. More people need to know about it.
Awsome footage thank you for all those made possible 😂😂😂😂😂drone pilot you cost me over$900 for damaged and lost drone s😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dude. Your life…..
😊♥️
Drone
👍👍😀😀👌👌
🇺🇦👍😊
Jake Paul doesn't care if wins or loses, it's massive publicity for him either way and he's enjoying the attention no matter what.
I don't know who that is, but thanks for watching!
