No doubt the Chinese military has a backdoor with DJI drones. AeroScope is based on a CCP Air Force program designed by the founder of DJI. But 2009 was 3 years before even Section 336 and well before the drone craze when drone sales exploded. Nothing to do with what we are talking about.
But it's a good segue into the motivation of Rich Hanson, playing the big shot on UAS/drone issues since 2009, jetting around to DAC's and ARC's and FAA meetings wasting AMA members' dues on all things having nothing to do with the core mission of AMA. I feel sorry for the rank and file who keep AMA running, but the "active" members who voted for this fraud deserve what's coming.
