North End tours are nothing new, but here is one you probably haven’t seen yet.
Brad Young takes “Amelia the Drone” on a sky tour from the North End rooftops, over the Greenway, Zakim Bridge and around the steeple of the Old North Church. The video was shot over four separate summer sunsets.

Pirates and patriots alike were a part of Boston’s waterfront and the creation of our great city and country as we know it today. Boston’s Freedom Trail® is bringing their stories alive by providing affordable and educational fun to visitors and residents. Boston’s “must-see” history this year is enhanced with a NEW walking tour of Boston harbor, rebellious deeds of colonial agitators, global trade, embargoes, hijackings, and pirate pranks. Sound familiar? The Freedom Trail Foundation’s Pirates & Patriots 90-minute walking tour, with an 18th century costumed guide, launches on June 1 and is offered daily at 12:30 p.m. from the ArtsBoston booth at Faneuil Hall Marketplace.

AWESOME !
The view from Zakim Bridge is awesome. Love the music too.
Welcome to the North End, Amelia! Heavenly production–Omni Theater worthy.
The panoramic shot of the sun-bathed steeple of the Old North Church (2:00 and ff.) are extraordinary. A great reminder of why we all love Boston. Thanks for sharing this artful effort.
Thank you all for the positive comments! I can’t wait to get Amelia back in the air again soon.
This is incredible footage of the North End but unless you’re flying with the flight tower’s permission then you’re violating federal law. Flying anywhere within a 5-mile radius of an international/regional airport is highly illegal. I recommend you look into the FAA’s regulations for model aircraft operations shown here: https://www.faa.gov/uas/model_aircraft/
Your comment is not entirely correct. I was below the maximum altitude for operating drones outside the strict 1.5 mile radius of an airport. Altitude regulations begin 5 miles from major airports and maximum altitudes taper down as you get closer to restricted air space. Additionally the drone I was operating has built in software that limits operations in and around designated no-fly zones. See http://www.dji.com/fly-safe/category-mc for more information.
Brad. How about flying over Copps Hill Cemetery and the Slye Park . It’s so pretty up there.
I live near the north end too (north point park) and am curious what is the max height this close to Logan?
