“As a father of a special needs child, my son enjoys watching our model planes fly, which is a special bond. I feel like I am flying when I see the look on his face and how happy he gets when we share this time together. A small Air Hog helicopter received as a gift, started our flying journey together that is now a family affair of fun and a small hobby shop in our garage. As a police detective for over 25 years, the hobby helped me cope with stress and PTSD and now I am pursuing my long time passion of flying full scale. In 12 years of this hobby and throughout my career, I have NEVERencountered systemic misuse or criminal activity within this great hobby. Please keep the unnecessary regulations out of community based organizations. Thank you.”
