I've been following both the DC shutdown along with the AMA on the hill through the AMA blogs. Since both involve the FAA and regulations they put in place the whole DC thing is relevant. Now just what transpires out of the whole "AMA on the hill" has yet to be seen. Since the FAA has agreed to reopen the fields in DC with restrictions we haven't seen before such as.

"Under the new procedures, hobbyists and recreational unmanned aircraft operators can fly aircraft that weigh less than 55 lbs. (including any attachments such as a camera) in the area between 15 and 30 miles of Washington, D.C. if the aircraft are registered and marked, and they follow specific operating conditions. The operating conditions require them to fly 400 feet or lower above the ground, stay in the operator's line of sight, only fly in clear conditions, and avoid other aircraft."

I'm not to sure this is not going to impact all of us down the road.
