[QUOTE="BigAl07, post: 90166, member: 13808"] Of course we are. Back in 2012 I could fly my sUAS (multirotor, heli, plane) at just about any place in the US (except National Park Service land and then it was ok sometimes) . All I needed to do was ask the land owner/manager and I was good to go. In decades of doing this I was only refused one time and that was because the land owner was afraid it wold spook her "fainting goats". Side story: It DID! Her neighbor let me fly and my heli (Nitro Fueled) did indeed spook them LOL. During my early days about 95% of my flying time was at local school yards day in and day out. Now if I go to fly at a school I have to get 27 signatures, submit my background check, and provide a portion of my kidney in order to help preserve "Security & anonymity" for our children. Fast forward to today and the above scenario is almost reversed. Part of it is by the majorly biased media looking for (and creating) a Buzz Word but a lot of the "credit" goes on fellow operators who think it's ok to fly anywhere and anyway they like. Sorry for the soapbox tantrum . . . [/QUOTE]
