Well, one week ago today I lost my DJI Air 2 to a fly away that landed in the top of a 30 tall oak tree while chasing UPs Big Boy and today’s photo is from my new drone, the DJI Air 2S!
It’s my first train photo from the drone and while cosmetically it looks like the same drone, it’s a big improvement! I’m loving that it has a 1″ sensor, where as the Air 2 only had a ½ inch one. It gives me 20 megapixels over the 12 that the Air 2 had. Of course, there’s many other improvements between the two drones and there’s many videos on YouTube that talk about them if you’re interested.
In case some of you are wondering, I decided not to use the Fly Away insurance that came with the care package that I had on the drone, as I wanted to go ahead and get the newer drone and the only thing you can get with the care package is a replacement, not an upgrade.
This shot is of was taken just south of Mortons Gap, Kentucky on the Henderson Subdivision as two SD 40-3s and a SD40-2 leads the daily CSX J732 local south on a beautiful summer day, after performing its interchange duty at Atkinson Yard in Madisonville, KY and was headed back to Casky Yard in Hopkinsville, KY on September 1st, 2021.
