Seems like there is a lot of action taking place to get the year started, hopefully it will shake a few trees at the FAA. As a photojournalist for a newspaper in CT I embrace this coalition and the possibilities it holds for my future. I also believe that having news organizations band together to show strength in numbers is a good thing. The more oganization's that show an interest in using drones for safely and professionally, INMO, helps all of us gain a little ground in having decent realistic regs like the UK.
