I don't know who the gentleman is, but I admire him.

And he doesn't have to rake his yard.

You might not admire him quite as much if you lived next door and had no interest in airplanes.

Seems like the neighbor might have been taking the video from the roof! Note he's running them all on propane.

I'm guessing he's gonna walk into a prop one of these days, what with all the snapshot-taking and generally casual operation...

Kinda hard to walk into a prop when he doesn't come anywhere near one that is in operation isn't it? What's so casual about it? What's he supposed to do? Put on bright orange reflective clothes, steele toed boots, an armored cod piece and start and run them by remote and a periscope from the back yard? It looked to me like somebody that knew what they were doing and was about as safe as they could be.

You need a sense-of-humor injection.
