The home told ABC New York: “I guess over the years I’ve become interested in the art of flight. I tried to see if it would one day be possible or sustainable to be able to fly on a smaller device for everyday use ”. Millions of people watched the video of Hunter Kowald surfing Seventh Avenue. And many have compared him to Spider-Man’s famous nemesis, the Green Goblin.
The airspace is heavily regulated in New York, flying with drone-like devices without permission is prohibited. The engineer said he had completed all the paperwork before this flight. New York Police said they would verify this information.
