Re: I was investigated by the FAA for flying in Class C airs
Can someone post a link to whatever regulation or rule prohibits flying a Phantom within 5 miles of an airfield? I ask because the only park in the vicinity of where I live that has an area designated for flying model aircraft including helicopters and "drones" is Sunnyvale Baylands Park. It's less than 4 miles from San Jose International Airport and less than 3 miles from Moffett Federal Airfield (where US presidents land Air Force 1 when they come in to do fund-raising in Silicon Valley). People fly RC craft there every day. The park is not in the flight path of either one, but still, it seems like someone isn't thinking this out.
