This question is so often asked on Instagram. What would you prefer to fly, airline or private? Do you want to fly a bigger plane? The answer is quite simple! At this moment I fly a so-called Medium sized jet that flies faster and higher than most airlines and could fly further than a Boeing 737 …
Let’s talk about drones. In the past 8 years, you could find them more and more. Also the discussions about them you could hear more and more. In my case I love them. I started with a cheap drone about 5 years ago, simple and difficult to fly. With this simple one, you could film …
