I know that is sort of off topic, but thought I'd throw it out there. Sort of a "don't be a flaming A-hole and use some common sense" (IE don't fly a drone 20 feet over your neighbor's head, but if you are flying a Cessna at 800ft, the property owner can kiss off).

As a guy with his FAA commercial UAV paperwork, I'm very tuned in to this topic. There are a lot of considerations and interpretations that are pretty hand-wavy. But "don't be a jerk" pretty much covers 99% of it. On the other hand, keeping (in my case, a smallish photography/videography drone) over public land (say, along a street) while not being directly over an adjoining house's property isn't enough to prevent many homeowners from getting unhinged. One spends a lot of time educating people. Helps if things start out warm and fuzzy from the get-go. So far, a good track record for me. But then, I've never flown over the MD state house at 400' :-)

You mean those red shirts used to soak up all those snowflake tears? You mean those shirts?

Always wondered why they adopted the MAGA color scheme. One could probably wear a shirt with MAGA spelled out and go unnoticed in their ranks.

Don't know if this is true , heard from a third party . They are going to sneak the long gun bill in , i don't know the language of said bill or if anyone has a handle on it or even if it is true .

They aren't "sneaking" it through. It is being covered in another thread and Pennak and Doherty are there watching it. I have seen the language on the house and Senate side and it is essentially UBC for all sales, with no restrictions for loaning a gun to a buddy, cousin, or whoever else to go shooting, hunting, defined the home, etc. Just sales.

Great pic (supplied by a Boomstick) at TTAG.

Separately, noticed that the US flag isn't at half mast over the capital building. Maybe it isn't lowered to half mast on this building in most circumstances, or they don't do it in general when political leaders pass in Annapolis.

Who has ATC in that area??

Depends on what you are asking.

Potomac approach 'owns' that airspace as it is inside the DC Special Flight Rules Area. Entering or exiting the circle centered on the DCA airport between I-95 (North end) and Chesapeake Beach (South end) is called the "Paleo gate" and the arc by Annapolis cuts about halfway between the Academy Yard and Kent Island. Minimum 1,000' over the highest obstacle due to congested/populated area and you normally have to stay below 3,500' to keep out of the way of mostly commercial traffic.
skyvector (dot) com if you want to look at the charts.

If you are asking if anybody was listening to ATC comms, they can be found at liveatc(dot) net. Type "BWI" in the airport box and scroll down to GRACO/PALEO...if you really, really want to.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg. Their organization was founded in 2013. I believe MADD uses the same color in a lot of its ads and it's shirts.

So, is the color scheme between MAGA, MADD, and MOMS a mere coincidence or is it something more? Who copied who?

It was a point re irony, but if you're counting chickens, when did the GOP go red? Sometime close to the Reagan era iirc, and certainly before MDA existed. The Republicans used to be blue before then and Democrats were associated with red. Most MAGA hats that I've seen appear to be (Republican) red, but maybe there are blue ones too.

As per MADD, not sure if they had definitive color scheme back then (or would consider having more allies on the right or left side, in contrast to MDA that appears to align itself more with one side, much as the NRA does with the other side).

Technically, the Governor can only order the flags of the State (including the subordinate political jurisdictions) to be lowered. The President controls the staff height of the National colors.

I've learned to lower my flag to half staff each year the MGA goes into session.

It is once again raised to full staff at Sine Die.

Seems appropriate.

Now that is an AWESOME pic and what I asked for. lol

Great job on that one. Guess it would be tough to get a pic of the plane in front of them as they look up at it because that would mean you would virtually have to be taking the pic from behind.

Great Job Patriot Picket!

We need to do a better job of ignoring the troublemakers and us.
