I fly in class C airspace often. Call the same tower every time. Probably close to 50 times. Today I was within 4 miles of the airport so I called the tower and they told me that they received a memo from the FAA yesterday that no recreational flights within 5 miles won't be permitted any more. When he first told me this I told him that I wasn't flying commercially, because I wasn't, he said that is for recreational flights. The part 107 process with the waiver didn't change just recreational flights within the 5 mile radius. Did I miss something? Was this every announced? If true this is horrible news. Huge blow to the drone community if so. smh
