    As a TESCO baby Monahans native, this hits close to home.

    Oh, jokes were made about Monahans.  Best beach Pecos has, HOLLA!!!

    I was sort of disappointed the guy didn't look a bit more like Billy Bob Thornton though.  If I'm being honest.

    I haven't flown my drone in probably 2 years, so things may have changed, but used to DJI didn't allow you to fly in a TFR unless you had gotten clearance. My guess is they disabled that in the ongoing fight between the DOJ/FAA and DJI. 

    I actually had used the FAA Drone app to bypass a TFR (getting permission to fly under 100 feet AGL). So I remember the old process pretty well. Been too busy the last few years to get the bird in the sky.

    I usually rely on that automatic "grounding" feature of my Mavic along with word from my neighbor who is a retired SWA pilot and professional drone operator giving me the 411 on what's GO/NO GO.  
     

    looks like I need to rethink those protocols.  I DO NOT want a sit down with the FAA.  Ever.

    Tread lightly my friend, don't want the FAA slapping you with multiple thousand dollar fines.

    See my post, that one extends to Canyon Lake till 7/13

    Alrighty then!!! Drone has been mothballed.  Excellent heads-up.

    I don't think they will get past the dam, at Canyon. Everyone knows why, but I ain't gonna say it.

    This was the debris field when it arrived Saturday morning as seen from my drone up over 300 feet.  No telling what is in that.  Just massive.
