So even if you live in an area where disruptive film productions are a dime a dozen, you can’t get too mad about a street closure that’s producing revenue for your hometown — even if you’re above snapping pictures of the stars. Movie productions pump a lot of cash into local economies. Larger cities that are accustomed to working with the film industry have offices that work to attract movie productions and also deal with the filmmakers while they’re in the area.

In the world of aeronautics, these axes are roll, pitch and yaw. On the other end of the spectrum are the black hats of the hacking world. The permit process varies from location to location, but the basics are the same. Now, this video of the fleet zipping around the planet is just mesmerizing enough to make us want to do the same.
