Objective
The main preface of this mission was to capture shots of a Golf Scramble that Purdue sponsors were playing in. We conducted basic flight maneuvers, within our given boundary & altitude limits, per LAANC. These shots were extremely important to get because it demonstrated what the program was doing and how it was utilizing its resources on its students to prepare them for the industry.

Location
Our main base of operations was at the Purdue’s golf area east of the Turf Farm. This location had some hazards to be aware of like trees surrounding the property, electrical lines on the south side, and housing/facilities on the east side. The ground was a little damp, but dry enough to conduct normal operations.
