The FAA has grounded the Fox News drone (and all others near there) that took that video of the illegals.

Problem solved.

What are the regulations for flying a drone?

Is this illegal, is it a danger to other aircraft?

Who's gonna sue the gummint for an injunction?

Tucker said he just found out about this while he was on the air.

He said it is a special security TFR (Temporary Flight Restriction)

Here is the FAA web page for the TFR: https://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_1_9857.html

UAS means Unmanned aircraft system (drone)

Did you know I received a UAS pilot license on the first day they were available from the FAA? I believe it was 8/28/16, time flies.

Just for the record

We'll see if it is still there tomorrow

I think the run rate is double last year for the most the year.

Apparently the drone ban has been removed.

After it became apparent that this was a purely political move.

[Copper]

Fox applied for permission to fly their drone, and got it.

The tfr is still in effect.

But of course they wouldn't take any action against a democrat drone.
