I fly constantly in Tennessee, particularly in local parks in my area. There are restrictions and permitting requirements for all state parks, as well as some of the larger city parks, such as Nashville. However, as long as you do not take off nor land on restricted property, you can image all...

I started posting about this potential ban months ago and I was repeatedly ridiculed as being in panic mode. I was not panicking, just preparing for what appears to be inevitable. Fortunately, aerial imaging makes up less than 5% of my photography and content creation business. I will never buy...
