"On December 12, 2017, President Trump signed legislation that
will reverse the earlier court ruling
in the John Taylor case and restore the FAA’s UAS registration
requirement, including for AMA
members.

AMA believes that registration makes sense at some level, but has
pushed for a more reasonable
threshold. While we address these issues, members will be legally
required to comply with the FAA
registration requirement."

Glad I wasn't one of the those who wrote FAA for a refund and
cancellation of my number. But, I have
to admit I've not been doing much flying lately anyway!

I got my number for free during the initial offering but I don't have
a drone yet. I am still not sure why I want one..

I justified mine by doing my own roof inspection.Â*

Actually, a co-worker had some roof damage from a storm, and when
the roofing company came out to quote the work, they used a drone to
inspect the damage.Â* Easier and safer than a ladder.



Pretty cool.



Now if they could only come out with an inexpensive drone powerful
enough to lift some of the people hereÂ* .... including me.Â* Don't like
ladders.




Maybe Sikorsky down in Stratford will sell you last year's demo model...



Memories. Used to drive by there often when I lived in Woodbridge and
then visited there several times years later while in business for some
technical discussions.
