What I find interesting is that, per www.mapsofworld.com :
South Dakota has a total of NINE regional airports,
Florida has 28 airports, 14 listed as "international"(mostly in tourist areas), 12 regional/domestic and two listed as "SEAPLANE BASES
New Hampshire has SEVEN airports, one international, five regional and one seaplane base
Washington has 40 airports, five international, 32 regional and three seaplane bases.

Now, my question is "WHAT IN THE HELL ARE SENATORS FROM SOUTH DAKOTA AND NEW HAMPSHIRE DOING ON THAT COMMITTEE?

Don't forget that Senator Bill Nelson was the ass hat that stood on the senate floor and gave us that wonderful speech on how no one flying drones/model aircraft unless they are a commercial organization.

This battle will NOT be an easy one.
