Governor’s Island New York. The drone race with the Manhattan skyline as a back drop.
The US National Drone Racing Championships 2016 Governor’s Island New York was the site of other aviation history.
In a strange but some would say appropriate coincidence this very location was the spot where Wilbur Wright of Wright brothers fame built the very first aerial canoe in 1909. Wanting to fly over water for the first time he made the historic flight of 21 miles and 33 minutes. He circled the Statue of Liberty and past Grant’s tomb. Then flying north over the Hudson river along the west shore of Manhattan then returning to Governors Island to finish the historic flight.
