Having a little bit of trouble finding the regulations, but generally speaking, they're restricted airspace.

there is a /nearby/ as in, 2 miles away, refuge

Only way I could check proper is if I knew where it was...

Dunno if you'd be willing to divulge that though.

I'll search later but it's not like I can't search

lol

and no

this is a good place

and it must remain sekret

Wouldn't think so.

lol

it's pacheco hills

and then there's one right below it

this is showing panoche hills.

yeah

panoche

I don't speak red

firing flares out there would be wonderful

smoke signals

Oh yeah, that sounds like a GREAT way to start the next great forest fire.

it's a fucking desert

lol

o_o

They have it tagged as a fire zone

I'm sorry, I guess I don't know cali too well.

but if you actually go there

it's a fucking desert

it's fucking rock and dirt and random brushes

it's a nice place to hike

Also, looks like the peaks are fine. the northeastern valley appears to be a special use zone.

yeah

It's not really peaks

but it's kinda close

'san carlos peak'

yeah; I dunno why the fuck they name them that shit

I see Panoche, it's clear.

if you look at the topologicals the peak is jack and shit

Mission peak is a peak.

There are a shitload of zones surrounding it that are speshul

If you'd ever been to the Texas flat lands, you'd realize those are mountains by comparison. 😛

Yeah; I know there are areas that are flat all over

hills are hills

Area I live near is occasionally referred to as a 'bluff'.

5 foot drop

is bluff now

If that.

I don't think I could ever get production values good enough to need or want a drone

It's enough to generally protect the town from a flood but that's about it.

I dropped 220 bucks on a gopro and some random accessories

not a major investment to me

not a 'money maker'

just me documenting things for whatever entertainment someone might get out of it while minimizing effort on my part

Yeah... If you wanted to use your drone as a 'moneymaker' it takes more than a monetary investment.

I'm a hackjob software engineer not a fucking media generator

man

I know some filming rules but not enough to think I could ever make cash from any of it

I am just a rando dicking around in a mask

dont you wish you could spend hours and hours debugging another person's shit code

that's the next guy's job

I architect and implement the shit code

I dunno what a DOT UAS thing is for

oh

Oh, wow, I don't feel so bad anymore.

drone pilot faggotry course

This guy's 3 inches shorter than me and 15 pounds heavier...

wire up flux compressors to drones and fly them into power distribution stations

unless that's 285.

we don't need no stinkin' licenses

I mean, being a licensed drone pilot is kinda like being a licensed gun owner

all it takes is a pirate pilot to do something fucking idiotic and we get further restricted

I don't really have a firearms license

I can't get the one thing that's a permit/license

because I am city

I mean... shall not be infringed and everything.

yep

Provided you're not a felon, it's w/e.

If I wasn't afraid of the govt as it stands I'd probably get a curio and relic ffl

...even though I don't own a single C&R firearm

I'm actually pretty interested in getting a full license at some point. Or maybe just a sport license and a Paramotor.

I just ordered 200 bucks worth of stripper clips

so if you swiss cheeze an entire gun

what the fuck does a "full license" get you?

and it still shootes

A Private Pilot's License lets me fly actual airplanes.

Oh

One of THOSE

my friend has one but he stopped flying for some reason

I dunno if I care about flying enough with my current income

from there, I could go for an instrument rating, and fly jets up in Class A.

maybe if I was pushed up into the 300/400k I would go for it

and above.

Also... snipperclips?

<--- being a smartass...

I dunno what that even is

It's a game for the Switch.

ok

oh jeeze. of COURSE Rule 34 applies to snipper clips. That's why it's rule 34...

I have many regrets.
