Default RE: Estimating Altitude?

ORIGINAL: Sky High

SAVS, that is the stadium for the Atlanta Braves minor league called the Rome Braves (www.romebraves.com). So yeah, they have a little bit of money to spend. I estimated those taller poles at 120 ft too. You can see a flyover that I did of that stadium before I got the better quality SAVS camera at [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=3746210]this[/link] link (post #5).
Someone was up late, or was it early? I remember seeing those pictures from your post. 120' would be rather tall for a light pole. It would have to be a tower at that height by some town/county/state code.

Try this simple task and lets see how close we really are.
