Our local news uses a drone and they are covering the Pennsylvania Farm Show. It's a huge venue drawing thousands of people... something like a state fair indoors and out. Tonight, the drone was flying all around the venue. It takes place at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, and it is within 2 miles of a trauma center heliport. Questions:
1. How did they get permission to fly so close to the heliport (no fly zone)?
2. Even with a part 107, are they still permitted to fly above such a huge crowd?
3. How are they permitted to fly well after sundown on top of my previous two questions?
They are flying after sundown, in a no fly zone, above a crowd.
