“I fly to see the world from a different perspective and photograph it to share with friends (recreational). For the several years I’ve had and flown my drone (with due care to safety for all) the requirements and restrictions have continued to multiply. I’ve carried my drone along with my camera to numerous other countries, only to find everywhere I visited posted with ‘no drone’ signs. I’ve respected the signs, but I’m beginning to become more concerned that as this trend continues, I will not be able to fly and photograph at all. Even though I fly only recreationally, I’ve spend more time planning than flying. I hope it does not become so unwieldy that pilots who respect the shared airspace and fly with care can no longer fly at all.”
