Since Pierson airport is a massive airport it is not allowed to fly anywhere downtown Toronto and near the can tower. So no cool skyscraper shots of downtown Toronto unless you have permission. You can shoot photos from far but it isn’t the same effect.

Can’t fly near hospital as helicopter come for quick medical landings often. Flight can be close but not within 500m 

Because spain has restricted drone laws you cant really ever fly in malaga. You cant fly over people or big crowds which basically is always in malaga. And theres an airport.
