Remember the Old Guy behind the curtain?
Remember what caused this hullabaloo in the first place. It all started when the AMA went to congress and add Amendment #336 and how the FAA said they Interpreted that Amendment. It's still my contention that except for congress trying to tell the FAA what and what they could not do, The FAA would have gone after only the people that were operating, the only thing that was considered a DRONE (Quad)' Where they became a precived menace to maned aviation. PERIOD.
Period as in no other points of view? No, Hong Kong wasn't going to deport him, but he also lived elsewhere, and spent a lot of time in the US. His continued issues with the FAA as well as the potential adverse ruling might have put a significant crimp in his ability travel to and from the US with ease. I don't think any federal agency has an ego, they are made up of many many people. As for what caused the hullabaloo...not sure where you get the AMA in that picture. It started and stopped with Pirker. And yes, his flights over people, buildings, moving cars and "occupied" streets or not was dangerous, and reckless too...but no injury or harm were noted. That's good. His flights in NYC were equally as stupid. He got the attention he so richly desired, much like a not so well mentally balanced kid in CT who strapped guns and flamethrowers to his quads. Among numerous charges, this most recent one is a doozy...kiddy porn and attempted sex assault on girls as young as 11. Fantastic, ugh.
