What makes me even more spit'n mad, is that if I get tapped on the shoulder for flying a frisbee in a designated no-fly zone, I'll lose my FAA issue pilot's license. That's right, I don't have to be operating a real airplane for them to revoke it.

So, next week I can hardly get to work. If I stay home I can't fly my real airplane and the AMA wants to leave my toys at home too.

Yea, I feel real safe now.

To expand on that, that link is to the revised flight advisory.  The
original post gave a link to the original flight advisory.

This page is linked to from --

It doesn't seem to prohibit model airplanes everywhere, but there are
certain areas where it definately does seem to explicitly prohibit
their use.

And of course this isn't the final NOTAM, so things could change
further before it becomes official ...

Ultimately, you've got to choose your battles.  I don't think this
would be a good battle to choose ...
