I believe that the FAA told MI6 films that if your craft is only 2 ft off the ground it is flying in the NAS. Of course they are being ridiculous about it. They're just protecting the full size photog operators so we don't put them out of…

They are just pissed because the FAA all ready told them they can't do it. So screw every one else. Chasing a fleeing suspect with a 50 LB copter at night with a traffic cop at the controls is dangerous(well, it probably is), but hovering a…
