So this should be fun.. GULP.

So my production company got hired to shoot the opening of the 2015 Rock n Roll Hall of fame induction ceremony for HBO. We are just doing some stabilized shots of the inside of the museum and then they wanted an aerial of the Rock Hall. Well the Rock Hall sits literally on the landing strip of Burke Lakefront Airport and there was no way I was going to get FAA approval to fly one of my Octo's to get the job done. SO... what to do? Call a buddy and Get IN and fly an aerial!

GOD HELP ME... I'm scared of heights! So this should be FUN.... GULP!

The door will be removed so I can hang out further.... WHAT?!?!?!
Only 10 more sleepless nights until this happens......

We routinely pull the door off an A36 Bonanza for air to air.

Safety first! The photographer is always strapped in with a harness.

Steve, did you call the local District Office to see if they would issue you a waiver? If you already have your FAA waiver, might not be that big of a problem. Call the tower and ask to speak to the watch supervisor.

Too much traffic due to the rock hall event. They literally said "Hell No". Even called the main COA approval office in Texas. So this is easier... [emoji106]

Cool! Sounds like fun other than the hanging out the door part.

It's a shame the "Rock and Roll" hall of fame has so little to do with "Rock and Roll"
