Drones Including Ground based are going to be so prevalent in the next 5 to 10 years. No one will give it another thought . Who even imagined 100 years ago the skies would have over a quarter Million Registered airplanes and thousands, caring 90 to 380 passengers all over the world. There are 252.6 million Cars and trucks on 3,980,817 miles of roads in the United States,No won could have even fathomed anything like that100 years ago. Not even 70 years ago.
We have the Technology today to put hundreds of thousands of robotic vehicles on the road and in the air Especially if they are not all going to the same place at the same time as our hub and spoke system of air travel today. Just saying in 5 to 10 years it will all be a moot point. First the Enroute ATC will slowly disappear then Towers at air ports will disappear and computers will control every thing that flies . The FAA knows that that's why they are Fighting for control of every airborne vehicle and as much airspace as the possibly can, All in hopes they will still be a viable entity ounce the FAA MODERNIZATION AND REFORM ACT OF2012 is put into full affect and eliminates thousand of controllers jobs. They will be replaced by computer repair, programing and installers.The technology is already here. The FAA is still in the dark ages of air space control.
That doesn't mean we should not FIGHT as one common body for our right not Privilege to our piece of the air space around us. Traditional R/V Model air planes have never been a problem, even above 400'AGL. It's time to stop bickering and nit picking about someones choice of font or name calling and figure a way to have the FAA Tackle the real problem of the uneducated ill informed people flying Non-Traditional "QUADS MR's DRONES" Where, When, & How they are not to be flown. If fail to accomplish that we deserve to be regulated out of our own Piece of the SKY. Now it is our choice. If U/we continue to bicker about nothing, then U/We/Me are a big part of the Problem Not the Solution. Remember we have the power, if we choose to be United .Divided we all will be regulated out of existence. Your choice. Simple as that.

We have the technology for each of us to have aircraft and fly but the FAA made it too expensive and the rules to difficult. They even tried to make quad cars that will take off from you driveway and Burt Rutan set up an electronic navigation system called "highways in the sky" But the FAA had none of that. So we will see.

The problem here this part (Legislative/Enforcement) branch/part is NOT going away any time soon. but then I believe the FAA is running scared (The Rank and File) that is ... They know that Technology can and will some day replace 99.9% of controllers. FSS personal ATC Air Traffic Controllers have been Ferload and their jobs went to private contractors. Next to the computer. Anyone can a complete flight plan briefing and never talk to a selist. the ATC system is so archaic that It's just a mater of time.
A good friend of mine (32 years @ TWA) his daughter has 17 years in ATC and is worried she won't make her 20. My daughter is a work at home mom .. medical transcription the company she works for just assigned her nes

An interesting comment in the article too.
Drones are getting to be big business. Even Disney wants to make an exemption to its “no fly” zone so it can fly drones of its own:
Disney loved its no-fly zone — until it wanted to fly its own drones
Quotes:
“Disney is asking the government for an exemption to the no-fly restrictions so that it can launch flocks of drones over Disney World and Disneyland, a move that has resurfaced frustrations and a debate in the aviation world over the merits of the no-fly zone.
“It was controversial that [Disney was] able to get those put in place in the first instance,” said Enrico Schaefer, a lawyer handling drone litigation at Traverse Legal. “Now for them to come back to ask for the exemption to fly within these areas that are restricted, it just seems like salt in the wounds to a lot of other folks in the aviation community.
Critics say Disney used its lobbying muscle in Washington to block aerial advertisers under the guise of national security concerns after the 9/11 terror attacks. It was a win for Disney, which is no longer troubled with planes towing banners over the Magic Kingdom. Now Cinderella Castle and Tom Sawyer Island have the same kind of protections reserved for the White House and U.S. Capitol.”
“While Disney wants to be exempt from the no-fly zone, it also wants the federal government to bend its rules for how businesses use drones.”
===================================
The lawyers are going to rake in a lot of money over this .......

And the next incident we will either never find out who ether because it wasn't registered, or never found. And if we do, they won't know or care about registering.

There might be another rush just before 19th Feb. Also many of those sold over Christmas are under 250 grams so the owners don't need to register.
Its early days and this is a long term plan, just wait until a few news stories appear of people being fined for not being registered.

That's perfect. As I've said before, "For Those Who naively believe lady justice is blind consider this, for those of Us who don't have the right financial or social status, that b*tch can see very clearly". What an FN joke!

It's best to deal with the reality of what we have, which is a registration. Then move on and keep flying. I'm not worried about those that didn't or won't register, that will be on them.

LoL....300k in a few weeks or so isn't exactly "slowing". It's a big number.
