Thumbs down NO DRONE ZONES, DC has the most restrictive NO DRONE Zone in the USA

The No Drone Zone has been expanded to a 30 mile circumference of Reagan National Airport in DC. See attached link. You can not fly a plane or drone in this area. This has affected almost a dozen clubs that have had to close their doors. I think this is sad and avoidable. This affects Maryland, DC, Northern Virginia and Northern West Virginia.

Sorry to hear that man. Come further north, there a some good clubs in Northern MD. Obama and the rest of the Washington ELITE paid too well by our tax dollar, are scared like little babies of getting a bomb dropped in their laps. Personally, I think a change in leadership in the house, senate and white house are long overdue.

the story i heard was that several AMA members flew drones in the area of the white house. if true that was TOTALLY STUPID and was guaranteed to bring this kind of response from the bureaucrats. so- is this story true?
