This is not a good law. It is duplicative of existing Federal Law. States, counties, cities and towns should not be creating their own confusing patchwork of rules to further criminalize already illegal UAS operation. I would encourage your Reps to vote No.

This kind of thoughtful commentary is EXACTLY what has been missing from this whole drama. 👍

Are these actually drones? I thought one was hovering over me in Eastern Virginia the other night. Wow, they're here, too!? Then it sped off. Then the unmistakable whoosh and roar of the F/A-18 made me chuckle. If the loudest, fastest, baddest stuff out of NAS Oceana can appear to hang like...

Came for the BVLOS comments. Was disappointed... 🤣

This last one took an extra long time -- I thought it was stuck, but about 20 minutes later it finished the last few percent.

Enough with the cheap swipes. Do YOU KNOW what happens when a drone hits a moving prop or helicopter blade? Neither do I. This is the "kind of thinking" that leads one to actually ask questions. Get facts. And, God forbid, possibly learn something. 😉

I just found this bird strike story. Some stats at the end. If others have details of what happens when drones collide with other manned aircraft, I think we'd all benefit. Kind of like dropping the totaled car in the high school parking lot as an example of "this why you don't drink and...

Not to divert from the tragedy and our obligations to fly by the rules, but I have often wondered what real risk we represent in a collision. Could we even get under the prop wash? What about flying down on top? How often do bird strikes result in crashes? Was the drone the reason? Was...

Nebraska farmers should be using US drones. Oh. Wait. 🙄 US farmers should be using whatever they can to get the job done, be safe and efficient, and hopefully eek out a living. There. Fixed it.

I get the good intent. But when you're doing nothing wrong, there's no need to explain it. I wouldn't know you're flying around my neighbors house until you knocked on my door. Don't give the angry folks the opportunity to make it a thing.

At a local Trump rally the TFR started an hour before he was supposed to, and he was still talking 30 minutes after the TFR expired. YMMV. 🤷‍♂️

I fly about 30 feet over water tracking efoilers and at least once per session I need to do a quick abort because it wants to be a fish. For waypoint missions, fly higher.

I use Mr. Shield tempered glass protectors on my phones and RC2. Clean, go on super easy and I don't even see them once on. Amazon.

Watching my M4P closely. So far it hasn't opened its case, unfolded itself or inserted a battery. But I'll stay on it. Because safety. And the children.
