That sounds like a plan. If anyone can help me out that would be great.

I'd be more than happy to make a call. I'll have to do some digging to figure out who to call in the AM

Hey guys. .
Do you really think it's a good idea to show up to a place that's considering a ban on drones ??
Do you think it will help the cause if a gang of us show up and fly there??
I'd hate to drive all that way and have an issue with the authorities saying we can't fly or whatever..
I don't want to fly where I'm not welcome ..
You might want to find a better spot..

Did you have a place in mind Turbo?

PureSQNut · May 29, 2015

I dont mind either way. If no ruling has been passed then its a non issue. We are all responsible and wanting to follow the rules and regulations. For me I look at it as an opportunity to show that the majority isn't a minority and that a drones, UAV's, Quadcopters etc can be a fun and safe thing.

If were going to change location please let me know as I was planning on contact them and placing an invite to have them come out and see for themselves. I am fine either way.

Yes I'll bring my DSLR also.

Off Topic. Has anyone here have flown at the Grizzly Island Wildlife Area? I know the risk of the bird getting shot by hunters but just want to know.

Shot and got a few birds there (one really nice pintail!) can't say that I wouldn't have taken a shot or two at a flying robot, but not now of course.

I say it is still a go at Bedwell. I doubt we'll have issues. I have my backup Inspire and I can set that in beginner mode for some folks to try it out.

Gonna be busy crazy today.

Just need to find a non-hunting season.

Like now for instance... At least it's not migratory season and that seems to be Grizzly's main hunting seen. Almost always very windy though.

True. I went fishing there for striped bass back in the day.

Agreed.

Update: We are good at Bedwell Bayfront Park.

Spoke to both San Carlos and Palo Alto Airport Tower Operations and advised them. They were great to talk to and our group is covered.
