Hillsboro Lighthouse
Visited the Hillsboro Lighthouse Inlet today and requested an FAA waiver to fly in this area to capture the inlet in the early sun light. Got there around 6am and walked about 20 minutes in the sand to get to the inlet. Started my flight at 7am as per the waiver and had a terrific morning flying..
