i'm the granddaughter you met and i’ve been waiting to watch the video! it's not everyday you see your own backyard on youtube lmao, great video!

[@KenHeron]

Oh great! Glad you enjoyed it. Please thank your family for allowing us to film there. 🤓👍

[@OneOfTheRobs]

These are by far my favoriete Ken-Vids. The voice-over is great, a lot of history and "Rippin sum packs at the bando" ofcourse. Well done buddy. Loved it

[@airadaimagery692]

Being a resident of Louisiana and Mississippi Gulf Coast states, I thought for sure that you guys had made it to my town and just didn’t let me know. I had no idea that things like this, and people like Harrah does this sort of thing all over the country... I should had known better to think that Ken would had travelled to LOUISIANA to visit me and Betty Sue! At least the Harrah’s Riverboat here has nine piece bikinis all over it! Dilapidated or not, Ken just doesn’t know what he’s missing!

[@KenHeron]

🤣🤣 I love Louisiana! 👙

[@SKSVideoGuy]

I ate there about 20 years ago. I remember that Hall & Oats were the headliner there.

[@Zaackmc]

Dropping my meeting to watch this vid, will be worth it

[@Zaackmc]

Update, it was definetely worth it

[@KenHeron]

So glad! Now get back to work. 🤓

[@sleal1194]

I can see ken chillin at this place when it was going full swing!

[@PLAZALOT58]

Reminds me of SPLASH, the first riverboat gambling in Tunica

[@y_i_fly6256]

That was so Khul! Looks pretty challenging with all the ceiling hangers dangling everywhere.

[@KenHeron]

We crashed A LOT.

[@SyndicateAdventures]

My introduction to my new favorite word: Scraggle! love the review left, my kind of humor.❤

[@bruceaplin]

Even sounded like a pinball machine 💛 Yay Kentastic

[@KenHeron]

Thanks Bruce!

[@chrisr19801]

My mother spent many hours cooking in that buffet.

[@ArtCoDroneSolutions]

Cool video Ken.

[@psychepath]

Fly High is so smooth flying through the wreck it looks like mini 4 footage. Unreal.

[@Fly_High_FPV]

Thanks jason Crockett 🙌

[@KenHeron]

Heck yeah!

[@RonaldBrown59]

Now that was a great find. And you guys are brave explorers, I don't think I would have gone inside. Great video, and thanks for sharing.

[@BreakWindDrone]

What an amazing find!

[@JohnCuppi]

Ha, nice TripAdvisor review, that was funny.

[@KenHeron]

Hey, thanks!

[@jeffsond]

Looks safe… full speed ahead!!! Be safe damnit!! Love it Ken, thanks

[@KenHeron]

Thanks Jeff

[@kielhawkins9529]

Props on navigating all those hanging cables and debris.

[@JimBailey]

Thank you so much Ken. :)

[@KenHeron]

You are very welcome!

[@dronerob]

Totally Amazing!

[@claytonpair1844]

That was the original Casino! I went once in the late 90’s. Yeah, it had to be on the river. I then went there a year before the flood. And it was a new Casino on the ground and that shipwreck was still there but not being used. That shipwreck had character… but yeah… it was just as much of a scam as it’s replacement.

[@KenHeron]

Oh neat! Thanks for the info. 👍

[@pizzaluvah]

"We're gonna flip this barge!" 😆

[@almaclang]

That's an awesome exploration, Ken! 👏 Your review on Trip Advisor made me laugh a lot. 😅🤣😂

[@Qwarzz]

Since it's very improbable I'll never meet Ken, I feel like I need a shirt that says "Ken Heron would have made me do it".

[@KenHeron]

🤣🤣🤣👍

[@Fly_High_FPV]

Hahahha, come out and fly with us, everybody's welcome!

[@Qwarzz]

@@Fly_High_FPV It's quite a ways off from Finland there :)

[@Fly_High_FPV]

@Qwarzz start swimming now, you'll arrive by August 🤣

[@chrisregister8021]

That could have been a floating mansion, just imagine...

[@KenHeron]

Totally

[@BlueDroneBlues]

I thought it was going to say, "Porkey's" on the boat somewhere! That is cool as hell. That is like Drone Zone Heaven!

[@majorbuzz]

Very interesting find and video. I just viewed it on Google Maps. It shows a pushboat up against the Harrah wreck.

[@jameshyatte7230]

Have eaten there a long time ago. To see it now WOW

[@desertvs]

I left a 👍for your awesome review. Hope to visit someday!

[@KenHeron]

HAAAA! 🤣 Awesome, thanks. Try the fish!

[@desertvs]

🤢🤢🤮🤮​@@KenHeron

[@KenHeron]

🤓

[@wakeywarrior]

The Bird family would get this fixed up and laundering in no time. They could call it the Heron Bird Casino.

[@peter360adventures9]

Awesome

[@KyKane]

Is this when the whole town was flooded i was working there staying at the motel right across the st...think it was a super 8 made us leave..was 2011 when i was there

[@AsgardStudios]

Well done! That was amazing. Did you guys gamble while you were there? 😂

[@KenHeron]

We rolled the dice on getting tetanus! 🤣

[@corymjohnson]

4:24. Hey Ken...what did you mistakenly say here? Ha Ha! You're the best! Nice bando, very thoughtful review on Trip Advisor!

[@KenHeron]

Hahaha! I think I might have called the Ohio River the Cumberland River.

[@corymjohnson]

Well, I suppose you too can make mistakes...@@KenHeron As always, love the informative nature of these videos!

[@maddercat]

Oh so that's what it was, I was wondering how half a building got tipped under water.

[@KellyGreenYall]

𝐖😳𝐖! Great video!

[@KenHeron]

Thanks man!

[@ShelbyVoll]

Crazy Bando 🤘

[@KenHeron]

Super fun opportunity!

[@BuckRecovery]

thanks for the tour of the casino boat Ken, looks great doesn't look like it pays out too good anymore though . So i think ill pass. Lol

[@carlscorner4820]

At 3:50 you can edit it so Ken says tight ass. Lol

[@SteveKran]

When will the 'Ken Heron made me do it!' merch drop?! 😁

[@Fly_High_FPV]

They're available on my site FlyHighFPV (dot)com and Ken gets a portion of every shirt!

[@TentoesMe]

​@@Fly_High_FPVHe he. I was going to say, "You have to EARN that."

[@Fly_High_FPV]

@TentoesMe those shirts are part of how Ken stays in the air, a portion of those shirts goes to Ken's battery habit, frames, motors, and more. I give him free 3D Prints and LED's 🙌

[@OneOfTheRobs]

@Fly high FPV Did you make a video too Dave?

[@JimBoshart]

That was pretty cool, more so from a gambler than a drone pilot... would have been a fun trip. And thanks once again for the history lesson. ❤🤡

[@KenHeron]

🤘🤡🤘

[@rneidermyer5266]

Wait a minute you did not review the pinball machine.

[@KenHeron]

🤣🤣

[@CommanderGoggle]

Ken, do you ever do meet-ups with other local pilots? I'm in Middle TN and would love to come fly with you if you do.

[@Fly_High_FPV]

Mindfield Meetup in Brownsville, TN every year around Ken's Birthday, aug 22ish. If you're in Bama, hit me up, we meet almost every weekend

[@KenHeron]

Heck yeah! Reply to this and email me: [e-mail]

[@CommanderGoggle]

Emailing now. Thanks, Ken!

[@mrniceguy132001]
