A method of determining a flight path for an aerial vehicle includes identifying during flight a change in a state of signal transmission occurring at a first location, and, in response to identifying the change, selecting a first destination within a proximity of a second location. A state of signal transmission at the second location during a previous flight is different from a state of signal transmission at the first location. The method further includes determining a first flight path to reach the first destination. The first flight path comprises accessible locations detected by one or more sensors onboard one or more aerial vehicles. The method also includes, upon reaching the first destination by the aerial vehicle, assessing in real time a state of signal transmission at the first destination, and determining a second flight path to a second destination based on the assessment.
