[QUOTE="Andre Levite, post: 88006, member: 10850"] Effective today [URL='https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-drone-alphabet/faa-paves-way-for-alphabet-unit-to-make-first-u-s-drone-deliveries-idUSKCN1RZ25N']Google is the first US company cleared by the FAA for commercial drone delivery[/URL]. They are on track to start in late 2019 with other companies applied as well. Since they will not be sharing airspace with manned aircraft one must conclude they will be using the same space now occupied by hobbyists. Google (and eventually Amazon) are willing to pay huge fees for the rights to clear airspace. Hard to see how hobbyists will have anyplace to fly in the era of commercial drone delivery. Be on the lookout for a big fat NFZ around Blacksburg VA when this ramps up late 2019. [/QUOTE]
