Turn up the music around 1:30 for some awesome 1920's big band jazz.

Big Shark CX-20 second test flight in GPS Mode
That was very nice. Thank you very much.
You're welcome, and I'm happy you enjoyed it!
I've been through every building in that place. That big building with the octogan shaped room had 1 ft thick steel doors and 6 inch thick glass view ports in it.. To me it looked like some sort of gas chamber or testing chamber than can hold just about anything. I've crawled the underground tunnels there too. It's a bitchin place to explore
Thank you so much for sharing what you've seen there! I've never been inside any of the buildings.
I live near here but could never find it. Could you tell me?
Thanks for the view of my childhood playground. 🤘
You mean "treasure island". Maude the wife was inspired to have the buildings have simple asian style from her visits to her brother who worked in china☺️
Just like anything else in shit hole California if it sits still for more than a couple minutes some ignorant asshole is going to tag it.
Graffiti suck!
Are visitors allowed near Treasure Island? Looks like there are a couple of cool beach areas that would be great to spend the day. Great video and song choice BTW. Thanks
Treasure Island is actually privately owned, so you would need permission. Thanks! I thought so too!
Toes
The younger ones drawing this stuff! We're here.Late! But here. :D Don't worry ! God has this. We're going to Heaven!
Do you think you can do an aerial of the rocketdyne facility just west of Canoga park
I could try, I'll take a look and see what i can do
My Dad worked at Grand Central Rocket Co. in the 50's, is this the same place? I know Lockheed bought it out at some point after he left.
Yup, same spot!
Zach Warren I thought so. He’s 90 now and his memory is fading. He told me stories about a test rocket called the arrow? And using lead azide in the fuses to fire the rockets that were usually in a bundle. Dr. Van Allen used them to find the Van Allen radiation belt.
@@underthe1104 Does your dad have any photos you could share of GRC, Mentone? I would really appreciate it.
@@briandenton145 Sorry no pictures of GCR but I did find his "new employee" letter on GCR letterhead that is signed by CC Moseley and others
These are rocket testing bunkers which was used in the development of the space shuttle solid rocket boosters.
There are photos online of rocket tests at Potrero Canyon, but I can't find any for Mentone. Any idea where to get some?
good video, strange music choice tho
You had a unique opportunity to show us the original dam But you didn’t 🤨
Great video
Thank you
Used to explore here as a teenager. Was really interesting. Never found any underground access sadly. Whole place has been stripped down. Even solid steel doors have been taken. Full of homeless now.
I go here too and looks like any under ground access is filled with dirt
I can't seem to find it. Could you help me?
@@kathydinisi if you look at a sattelite map its along the river, its north of mentone between the river and highway. Looks like a bunch of lakes from above.
Thank you for this video. I use to live in arrowbear from 1990-2001 and 2002-2004. We use to play under the bridge when the water levels where low there may still be some “art” from us lol. And sitting on the chapel next to the damn. A great place to relax and watch the sun set. Thank you again for bringing back memories of fishing and swimming in the lake too.
T Mursee I'm glad you enjoyed it!
My mother n law used to live in those houses there before she passed away in 2005 and It was a really nice quiet area.
Is that a private lake or can the public fish there???
Gabriel Lopez it's not private and yes you can fish there
Chris Covington you happen to the hours and price??
Any time, and free but you'll need a fishing license
if there's water in it
Any updates on the lake recently ? Heard it got stocked this month . Tnx
Is it open to the public?
TAG Thecomicbookbroad No
If you’re brave enough
would you mind if I used some of your footage for a video? I'll give you full credit + a link to your channel/vid
Ray vs. the World , sure that's fine
Nice video. ..Thank you! Great music!
L. cali thank you# :)
Just made a pretty cool video on my channel about the Big Bear dam keeper's stone house built in 1884, check it out if you get a chance :)
is this place located in mentone ca?
We call it the bunkers. Really cool place to go exploring, now inhabited by the homeless and people who love to play paintball.
Matt Garris what's the best way to get there
@@krlm2280 34.074936,-117.099452 <-gps take the path all the way there
@@HR91360 thanks man
@@krlm2280 no problem! Be safe!
This music kind of sounded like Elder Scrolls games
cool music with the aerial views.. i liked it
Thanks! The Music is from the movie "The Right Stuff", the album is called the Planets
nice flight
Dji Leon thanks! :)
I live near these areas. We should collaborate and make some videos together. I dont have a drone but I have 711 subscribers that would like to watch and subscribe to you. Thanks. This IS Douglas John Bailey and my email is greatwhite2345 on gmail.
wow they totally demolished the main tunnel system. it's all caved in now . it had amazing thick concrete around with rail car rails leading right into the walls . even had giant crane systems around the opening. I always wondered what the underground part looks like. a lot of the buildings at that place are giant and lead underground but are capped of by really thick concrete. I wonder what hides below waiting to be discovered. but at the same time I imagine barrels of waste underground polluting our water system. like it has been
Really? did you work there before it closed?
No I wish I was able to see what it was like before I closed in the 70s . But it's real a remarkable place. And I have done extensive research on what had been done at this place and friends and family in the area at the time have told me stories of when it was in operation and when they would test solid rocket boosters. But now it is a main contamination point of our ground water in the area. I work for a geo firm so I can get the scoop on properties and prior history kind of easily.
That's really cool you have access to all that information.
It's real neat and helps out my curiosity. Just about anywhere has some type of history even if it's just a field. Are you local to Mentone or did you hear about the old Lockheed base form someone. Not many people know it's right in our backyard
@@MRREE-zw6xc Thank you for the background info, very interesting! I live on Mt' Jacinto, part of Banning. Lockheed had a testing facility at the base of the mountain in Beaumont during that time. They tested booster rockets, just spewed those things into the air where it settled on the mountain. Our water is contaminated with Chromium 6, but because our water company is so small they don't have to follow the strict standards of big companies.
LOVE the music
gotta love that John denver :)
Just subscribed 👈 maybe you can return one 👍
Music? Colorado Rocky Mt. High?
wow, you could actually walk to china island because the water is so low! :(
yeah it is
this is electronic music
i got the music off a music cd, ask your dad about "john denver" he is the one that made the song.
thanks Xander!
thanks! yeah that's kinda my trademark lol
Watched your 3 videos. Nice really like how had camera aimed at ground going fast---cool effect.
the clicking sound was my props hitting the stock prop guards. i was using 9443 props. i no longer use prop guards now because i have confidence now and it flys much better without the guards
Can you update the flightcontroller and what is the ´clicking´noise you hear in the video?
yup,it's got two antennas
Does you're big shark version have two receiver antennas ? thank you
