FAA Eases Drone Restrictions Around Washington, DC (roboticstrends.com)

An anonymous reader writes with a link to Robotics Trends, which reports that: After doubling the radius of the "no-drone zone" from 15 miles to 30 miles outside of Washington, D.C. in 2015, the FAA announced drones can now fly in the "outer ring" of the Special Flight Rules Area. This means drones can operate between a 15- to 30-mile radius outside of the nation's capitol. Drones that fly between the 15- to 30-mile radius still have to operate under specific conditions: drones must weigh less than 55 pounds, be registered and marked, fly under 400 feet, stay in the operator's line of sight, only fly in clear conditions, and avoid other aircraft.

You stupid, useless fuck, they aren't "drones", that's a negative connotation and RC modellers have been out flying planes and helis since the 1930's.
Long before the real "drones" took to the air to kill children and vaporize wedding parties.

I am so tired of you fucking sheep that believe what you're told, that live in some fucking mirror World that has 0 connection to the real World.
People like you swallow hook, line and sinker every turd the gov drops down your throat.

Go fuck yourself, and in the process please sterilize yourself, the World doesn't need yet another millennial waste of space.
