Ah, it's my favorite Thanksgiving song! Good luck!

It's those super-double-secret UFO bases that have even crazier fences.

OP, how far away were you from the Byron Airport in a straight line? I would be very certain of the answer to that question before you try to make an FAA argument in this issue. Based on where I think you were and the closest boundary to the airport, I measure it at 4.65 miles. From the...

I'm sorry you lost your drone. Let me see if I can summarize the issues. 1. It sounds as though you don't care why it crashed. 2. It also sounds as though you are confident that you know exactly where it is. 3. But you believe you cannot get to the place where it is because of cliffs and/or...

Debate away, then.

I don't know why some of these posts have taken on the tone of a debate...I don't disagree that the law is wrong, nor do I disagree that this could be resolved in the OP's favor. But no one knows what WILL happen. And I've gone to great pains to make it clear that I am only stating what MIGHT...

And the lawmakers knew that, too. But here we are.

I guess we'll see.

And I'm not saying they will enforce it when confronted with the federal rules, but who knows? The local rules are in conflict with the federal rules...and they enforce the local rules. I think he'll have a good chance of getting it torn up if he approaches the prosecutor before-hand. That...

I didn't offer an opinion on whether he was in the park or not. All I know is that he was cited for violating an ordinance. And the ordinance states: "No person shall engage in any of the following activities within the District except in areas specifically designated and set aside from time...

And I'm not suggesting you shouldn't fight it...I would totally try to fight it. I just wanted to throw out there how those prosecutors and judges at that level may respond to an argument that the law they enforce is a violation of federal law: that's above my pay-grade.

Keep in mind that the judge will be in a city or state court...and it looks like you did, in fact, violate the city/state ordinance. The issue is whether or not the ordinance violates federal law. A city/state judge may not care much for that issue and may only address whether or not you...

I just did some flying in Norway last week. Absolutely beautiful country. Welcome!

Crash? I thought it landed safely. I've seen several posts about Mavics getting very wet without encountering any problems at all. I can't imagine that a few sprinkles would cause these types of problems.
