"Flight to the Forts"

This mission could have been called "Far, Far Away"! The Phantom 4 "Night Fury" captures the sunrise on a 55,101' (10.436 mile) early morning Litchi mission. The bird launches from Fort Armistead, passes Fort Carroll & Sparrow's Point, then flies over Fort Howard before turning towards home. The aircraft is a stock "Special Edition" P4 with a high-capacity battery. She returned with 19% remaining. I had full contact until about half way between Sparrow's Point & Fort Howard where my altitude dropped to only 22'. I am amazed that signal was regained 5.25 miles away as she flew above Fort Howard at the furthest point of the mission! Aircraft & RC are stock but I did have a WindSurfer on the remote. This is a "real time" mission. The actual flight was nearly 22 minutes. Grab an adult beverage, enjoy the music, pucker up, & imagine your bird way-way out there!
