Seaplane takeoff in the Maldives

Please note this shot was done in cooperation with, and as instructed by the captain of the seaplane, involving spotters on the ground. At take-off the UAV was behind the aircraft at all times. In case of a highly unlikely fly-away, the UAV would not be able to get closer to the plane even at max. speed. In case of loss of radiocontact, the UAV would Return-to-Home in a direction opposite to the plane.
This shot was done by professionals and in general it is highly adviced NOT to fly UAV's around airplanes as this could be dangerous and/or illegal.
We would like to thank Trans Maldivian Airways and the entire crew of 8C-TAC/MAO for their kind assistance and cooperation.
