Check out this drone video of one of the world's largest breweries, compliments of contributor mavictraveler.  It's the main Anheuser-Busch beer factory in St. Louis, Missouri.  Situated on the Mississippi River just downstream from downtown, the complex consists of nearly 200 individual buildings.  A designated National Historic Landmark, the complex was originally the handiwork of AB co-founder Adolphus Busch, who immigrated to this Midwestern city from Germany in the mid-19th century.  

Contributor mavictraveler used a DJI Mavic Pro 2 drone to create this aerial tour of Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri.  Founded in 1853, the university's main campus is located in the heart of the city.  Its current enrollment is about 15k, with about half undergraduates and the balance spread amongst various graduate and professional schools.  Wash U is considered one of the country's top schools: in the 2019 US News & World Report annual college rankings, it ranked #19 among the national universities. 

Union Station is one of the great landmarks of St. Louis, Missouri.  Seen here in this drone video by AirVuz contributor and pilot Bumble Bee Productions, the station was completed in 1894.  Significantly expanded to accommodate additional traffic for the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, it became the busiest single US train terminal.  Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1970, the station saw its last intercity train service end in 1978.  It's since been comprehensively re-developed and remains a popular destination within the city. 

Contributor mavictraveler used a DJI Mavic Pro 2 to aerially film the golf course of the St. Louis Country Club, one of the oldest courses in the Midwestern USA.  The course is located in Ladue, Missouri, about 20 km (around 12 mi.) west of downtown St. Louis.  The current course was built about 20 years after the founding of the club in 1892.  The course has hosted numerous high-level tournaments, notably the US Open in 1947, the US Amateur in 1960, and the US Women's Amateur in 1972.

AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) pilot PilotInCommand FPV took to the nearly-empty streets of St. Louis, Missouri during the Covid-19 pandemic to "dive in" to this elegant Midwestern City.  Incorporating some great "set-up"shots showing the areas being flown, he was able to put his racing quad through the paces of loops, building dives, and other FPV maneuvers, none of which would typically be possible given the typically high levels of people and traffic in the central city.
