Jeff Johnson (Pict'Earth) and I (DIYDrones) are speaking about amateur UAVs and imaging/mapping at the WHERE 2.0 conference (http://en.oreilly.com/where2008/public/schedule/grid) in Silicon Valley on May 12-14, and we thought it would be fun to have a UAV fly-in beforehand.
I've got an airfield available at the former Alameda Naval Air Station (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Alameda,+CA&ie=UTF8&ll=37.787878,-122.316885&spn=0.017399,0.040169&t=h&z=15) nearly Oakland (right across the Bay Bridge from San Francisco) and could fly on the afternoons of Sunday, May 11th or Monday, May 12. Standard safety rules (http://diydrones.com/profiles/blog/show?id=705844%3ABlogPost%3A28583) apply, but we'd love to have any fellow UAV amateurs join us. After-flying drinks are on me!
If you're in the Bay Area and would like to fly, watch or just hang out, please leave your name and preferred date in the comments on this post (http://diydrones.com/profiles/blog/show?id=705844%3ABlogPost%3A33679).
