Drones over stadiums lead to the right questions being asked

Aerial view from Stadium High School in Tacoma

Thus far the public obsesses over invasion of privacy and the FAA squabbles over profits; meanwhile the real danger comes from UAV’s physically falling from the sky onto unsuspecting people below. This is why the rules must change. This is the only thing that matters. I fly regularly and made a conscious decision to avoid dense crowds of people after flying over a local marathon and a farmer’s market and seeing the potential risks firsthand.

Stadium High School

Stadium High School

Among the most iconic properties in the history of Tacoma: Stadium High. You loved her in 10 Things I Hate About You and if you’re like me, you’ve been by her 100’s of times without once stepping foot inside. One day I will venture in, but for now I venture over. My takeoff and landing area here is as easy as it gets, located north of the school and Stadium Bowl. From 200 feet above Stadium High, you can see the Port of Tacoma, downtown Tacoma, Wright Park, the Stadium District, North Slope, Annie Wright, Tacoma Lawn & Tennis.. the list goes on, but you get the idea. Lotta bang for the buck at this location.
