Home Educate, don’t regulate, drone fliers: Opposing view

Educate, don’t regulate, drone fliers: Opposing view. AMA Response to White House 'Drone' Incident.

FlyBoyz has received the following email regarding the White House ‘drone’ incident this past week and is posting it here for your review and action.


From: Eric Williams
Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2015 9:29 AM

All,

An opinion piece authored by AMA Executive Director, Dave Mathewson appeared in USA Today. In his commentary Dave expressed AMA’s call for common-sense guidelines for recreational unmanned aircraft – education not regulation. Please take a moment to read the text and vote to support the opinion in the “Quick Poll” on the right column of the webpage.

Please pass this email along to your members and clubs.

Regards

Eric
