    The Good Flight Podcast - Episode 16 - Mike Isler and Filming with Helicopters in NYC

    Mike Isler is the head of production for Gotham Films, a New York Based Aerial and Aviation joint venture featuring helicopter as well as drone operations in the NYC area and beyond. Mike comes on to talk not only about the unique challenges of operating these type of aircraft in the New York area, but also helps us break down and understand the question 'why not just use a drone'? It's a great discussion, and we hope you enjoy spending time with us! (sorry that Paul's video isn't working, we're not sure what happened there. At time of recording, there was a bit of an internet delay, so if it seems like we're constantly interrupting Mike, it's because of the delay).  Check out Gotham Films on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/gotham.film/?hl=en Check out Gotham Films' website: https://www.gotham.film/ Follow our new Instagram account for future updates!

    The Good Flight Podcast - Episode 15 - Drew Camden, President of Rotor Riot

    After graduating with a bachelors of science in Engineering physics, our guest built a successful career as an engineering designer at General Motors and was well onto his way to achieving well in the traditional engineering market.  However, as he found his way further and further into FPV, his interest and future changed in a way that I doubt he ever expected.  Consistent growth as an FPV creator as well as opportunities built from having won a Skitzo freestyle competition lead him to joining the Rotor Riot team, of which he eventually became president.  His passion for consistency, quality, and “doing it right” has built his 90K youtube subscribers and continues to see Rotor Riot grow year after year, and I’m excited to hear what he has to say today on The Good Flight Podcast.  Follow Drew on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHxiKnzTyzE9Qez8ZGpQbPQ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drewcamden/ Rotor Riot: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCemG3VoNCmjP8ucHR2YY7hw Rotor Riot Website: https://rotorriot.com/ Follow our new Instagram account for future updates!
