Flying Robots Back in Time

2015-02-14 12.29.08-1Over 30 years ago I was a young student attending 4th grade in Ammon Idaho. I remember the square non-descript elementary school well, especially the lunchroom and the playground where I spent a lot of time playing on the monkey bars and jungle gym. I remember waiting in the line to enter the separate building housing the lunchroom and I remember my Uncle Wiley who was retired but worked at the school to keep busy and I saw commonly when walking to lunch. They would line up the children to wait to enter the lunch line which is still a challenge for me to perfectly stand still in a line. 

If you had asked that wildly imaginative high energy blond haired kid Shaan waiting in the school lunch line if flying robots with cameras would one day visit that school and he would own one - that child might have laughed at you. But I did return to the school lunch line with a flying robot with a camera and flew it at the same height I would have had as a child on the school grounds. Watching through thee real-time FPV (First Person View) I was taken back to many childhood memories.

It was surreal seeing my old school this way.
