Rapid City, SD - 4K Aerial Tour

Rapid City is the second-most populous city in South Dakota and the county seat of Pennington County. Named after Rapid Creek, where the settlement developed, it is in western South Dakota, on the Black Hills' eastern slope. The population was 74,703 as of the 2020 Census.
Known as the "Gateway to the Black Hills" and the "City of Presidents" because of the life-size bronze president statues downtown, Rapid City is split by a low mountain ridge that divides the city's western and eastern parts. Ellsworth Air Force Base is on the city's outskirts. Camp Rapid, part of the South Dakota Army National Guard, is in the city's western part.
Rapid City is home to such attractions as Art Alley, Dinosaur Park, the City of Presidents walking tour, Chapel in the Hills, Storybook Island, and Main Street Square. The historic "Old West" town of Deadwood is nearby. In the neighboring Black Hills are the tourist attractions of Mount Rushmore, the Crazy Horse Memorial, Custer State Park, Wind Cave National Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, and the museum at the Black Hills Institute of Geological Research. To the city's east is Badlands National Park.

RC looks ok in the Summer months, but there are a few things about it that I don't miss at all.....wind, hail, snow, icy roads, sleet, subzero temps, cost of living, and an occasional tornado....but to be fair, although I do love my new temporary home in Puerto Vallarta Mexico, on the so called "Mexican Riveria". There are many more things that I have strong dislikes about living here, in so called "Paradise", than there were in South Dakota. But cold winters and cost of living trump all others, and when you are a senior citizen living on a fixed income, it becomes necessary to make adjustments to live without as much stress and pain as possible.

I see several new changes that have been made since I flew the coop in 2014

Hey, I was wondering if I could use some of this footage in a video I am making? It has nothing todo with drones, and is related to vehicle work. I'd like to have some b-roll for part of an intro sequence(for this video only). Let me know your thoughts.
