I am a hobby drone pilot in NYC…Living in NYC it’s getting harder and harder to find legal places to fly. I would like to obey the law and fly in approved designated areas but the government is making it impossible. 1 week it’s legal to fly someplace and the next month it’s not…the FAA says you can fly in a park and the Parks department says you can’t. I wish our criminally ignorant government would get their act together and stop overreacting to one so stupid guy with quad and respect the rights of hundreds of other quad pilots.
Example: if 1 person drives his car through a stop light and hits a bus…is that a reason for the government to say no one can drive down this street? Well that what it seems like the government is doing…every time some dumb dumb does something stupid the government takes another park away.
Because of some silly/stupid people and a bad undeserved reputation every honest law abiding drone pilot has to pay. This isn’t fair or reasonable, especially when the government doesn’t even know what a drone is!
Here are some pictures I took at dusk…and another park I can't go flying in!
