[QUOTE="SteveHall66, post: 61009, member: 5278"] I hear lots of stories about airports not being very friendly to drone pilots, so I wanted to share a positive experience. I was on vacation with my family on Cape Cod in Chatham Massachusetts last week and wanted to put up my drone several times. There is a small municipal airport in town plus other park areas nearby so literally everywhere is within a restricted zone. The town has a nice [URL='https://www.chatham-ma.gov/airport-commission/pages/use-drones-chatham']web page[/URL] all about drone use, so I stopped by the local airport and talked to the manager. I explained that I had a small drone that I would like to fly on occasion, that I understood the issues flying near an airport, and that I would always keep it under 150 feet since I would be so close. They were awesome about it - they said that would be perfectly fine and to just call before I put it up to let them know. I called each day that I wanted to fly to tell them where I was and my plans: sometimes the airport personnel wanted my name and phone number, but usually they just said "thanks for calling and have a good time". Anyway, I wanted to share a very positive experience. Here are a few pictures. Steve [ATTACH]6408[/ATTACH][ATTACH]6409[/ATTACH][ATTACH]6410[/ATTACH][ATTACH]6411[/ATTACH][ATTACH]6412[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
