Every now and then when we are camping we hear one even though it's supposed to be illegal. It usually throws us for a second, then we realize what it is. I think the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks, so I wish the regulations were a little less strict. I have a pair of DJI Phantom (2 or 3's) in my office at work, but I don't know if they have ever been flown because we have a small farmers airport a couple of miles down the road from us.

Back in Colorado, we lived next door to an old farmers airport. Even though it hadn't been used in a decade, it was still on the maps. One of the benefits of getting the Part 107 UAV license, and with the DJI drones, is that it's very easy to "unlock" most restricted areas to fly in. That was one of my main motivators for choosing DJI, as I originally had plans to run side business doing real estate videos and such. I did a few gigs, but no time to make it really take off. Besides if you have to do it for a living, kind of takes the fun out after a while. I prefer it as a hobby with an occasional paid gig to offset the cost.
That's good to know! I've thought about going for my license, but I honestly don't know enough about it. Maybe one day in my free time I will do some research. Man, Colorado, Vermont, Florida... Just add Michigan to that list and you will have lived in all the best places!
