Why not? Almost the last day of the year, the temperatures close to 0º? It was high time to rev up the CogDogDrone and take a fly around.
My lack of practice shows, every flight is re-remembering the controls. I get a cameo as does the abandoned Chrysler Le Baron in the back field. No dogs were out today! Tried to go as far as signal would carry.
Where will I fly in 2026? Hmmmm.

Looks like a little piece of paradise on the prairie.
p.s. Is there a reason why the video is dated July 26, 2025?
Thanks for flying with us, Stephen. The July 2025 date is meant to foil AI… nah it was my sloppy video editing, from copying the last video sequence and not clicking the right button on the text edit. Shrug. It was already published and shared in YouTube so all I could do was cut the title frames out.
December 30, 2025. The day CogDog posts a new drone video and the day yours truly gets his 5th drone. It’s part of a future post so stay tuned…
Always love the CogDogDrone channel viewings. Here’s to both of us getting out and rediscovering (over and over) our drones 🙂
You are my guru Andy for getting me in the air. Happy flying your number 5.
Believe it or not I’ve never flown a drone.
That’s fantastic, it’s a dream I want to fulfill someday.
