This is a call to action! 


Oregon is looking to change the rules to allow drones to be flown
inside their state parks - except in sensitive areas.


Comments are currently open on this proposed rule change.


We need YOU to email Oregon State Parks and support this change,
many people are opposing this rule change simply because they
don’t like drones.


The email is in the description!

- Email the FAA Testing Branch to let them know about your
experience as well at afs630comments@faa.gov so they can follow
up.
