• Mountains count, the height limit starts from wherever you launch from.

    • Structures count as well, so if you’re flying within 400ft of a 400ft tall building, you can fly up to ~800ft.

    • Carrying a jar of dirt sadly does not work.

    • No fly zones and certain classes of airspace (such as near airports, active stadiums) always take priority over this.

    • These rules are highly location and country/province specific.

    The punchline about Jack Sparrow makes no sense. It has zero connection to drones. Is it just supposed to be funny because it’s a reference? Maybe I’m missing something

      Davy jones couldn’t step on land, and the dirt in the jar symbolizes land in the same way as the bucket here supposedly counts as land

      • Ah, okay. I guess that makes more sense. It’s still a pretty scuffed punchline, because doesn’t the movie pretty clearly explain that? Why would the character just be getting it? Seems pretty shoehorned in. I guess I’m thinking too hard about a silly comic
