Another drama is going to play out when the FAA begins approving FRIAs. Those fields that are rejected don't cease
being flying fields, just that aircraft flown there have to comply with remote ID. Initially, the only aircraft that will comply
are drones able to receive firmware updates, like several from DJI. I can see these droners going after those former
fields for calibration and testing, to practice flying skills, etc. after the model aircraft flyers are kicked out.

If I read the NPRM footnote I posted correctly and the FAA eliminates FPV at AMA fields, those rejected FRIA fields
will also become highly sought after by the affected drone flyers for the same reasons. Talk about poetic justice for
AMA inviting in drones and FPV, if droners start taking over former AMA fields.
