I wish people wouldn't engage in this lawbreaking nonsense. It's ultimately just an ego trip that will eventually result in incidents and further restrictions that the rest of the drone world ends up paying for. The images of are of no commercial use, and if you go around posting them as a way of nose-thumbing the regulators, you will possibly come to enforcerment attention and get sanctioned and then you can whine about how unjust the world is. Well, eff that, I'm not interested in further regulations so that you can compensate for your insecurity.
Airspace regulations exist for reasons, which may sometimes be unreasonable, but they are not arbitrary. There are lawful means to challenge them and modify them and obtain exceptions. In the case of some national parks and other reserves, and Grand Canyon is a great example, there are permitted uses by sightseeing aircraft that entail FAA airspace restrictions beyond the norm of other national parks. These need to be respected as long as they stand.
And further, I wonder why forum administrators allow these kinds of discussions -- they are just a means of furthering the ego gratification of people who are doing a disservice to the community. And don't give me any free-speech nonsense. The 1st amendment doesn't apply to private platforms such as this -- they are free to delete and censor any way they like.
