After a fun trip to the Pecan Patch in GA I had the idea to check out downtown Atlanta and see if we could surf a tall building as a team together with our Specters.
After looking up what is the tallest building in Atlanta the Bank of America Plaza building I had my eyes set on it.
We drove around a while trying to find the perfect spot to fly from as to have the best chance for success in everyway.
The area was scanned by iBcrazy my wingman for this flight to see what issues if any we would have on our respective frequencies. Nothing was missed and everything was tested prior to flight.
It was decided that 72mhz and 1.3ghz video were the key to success on this mission and I was ready for the job at hand. With a handle like Bondjr how could I say no.
Thanks to my awesome ground crew iBcrazy on a separate antenna testing things as I progressed in the flight and Vango launching filming and spotting from the ground some of the action. I could not and would not have done it without them.
This was a spectacular flight and being able to building surf what is the tenth tallest building in the USA and 53rd-tallest building in the world. It is the tallest building in Atlanta and the Southern United States; tallest building located in a state capital; tallest building in the U.S. outside of New York and Chicago; tallest building built in the U.S. in the 1990s.
More info on the building:
Bank of America Plaza (colloquially known as The Pencil Building due to its pencil-like shape[citation needed]) is a skyscraper located in the SoNo district of Atlanta, Georgia. At 317 m (1,040 ft) the tower is the 53rd-tallest building in the world. When it first opened, it was the 9th tallest building in the world, and 6th tallest building in the United States. It is also Georgia's tallest building, the tallest building in any U.S. state capital, and the tallest building in the United States outside of Chicago and New York City. It has 55 stories of office space and was completed in 1992, when it was called NationsBank Plaza.[7] Originally intended to be the headquarters for Citizens & Southern National Bank (which merged with Sovran Bank during construction), it became NationsBank's property following its formation in the 1991 hostile takeover of C&S/Sovran by NCNB.
As of 2012, the largest tenant is the law firm of Troutman Sanders.
This was one heck of an adventure and its not the last time you will see the boys from StoneBlueAirlines having a little fun.
