Well this is a delightful bit of irony.
Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-N.Y.) decided to capture the excitement of his June 21 wedding day on video using a drone, even though the commercial use of remotely controlled vehicles is still restricted by the FAA, which Maloney oversees on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Aviation Subcommittee.
Maybe this will help our cause. A congressman with authority over the FAA now has first hand experience with the FAA's incompetent and delayed handling of this issue. This 2lb toy with a camera could have taken down a loaded 747 hovering there 30ft above ground next to the giant brick church. Clearly this is a danger to the NAS, much like surveying corn husks.

Well isn't that ironic.
Hahahaha. This made my day.
The FAA feels like such a joke these days. I can't imagine any commercial airliners would be flying through the airspace where this little drone was hovering. We really need some limits to what the FAA can claim as their jurisdiction.
You know on this site we are supposed to avoid political issues.
How do you avoid political issues when you ARE the political issue.
I wonder if the general public has any idea of how badly the FAA is screwing this whole thing up.
They are a completely out of control juggernaut (with delusions of grandeur).
