    Cole, you submitted the file on 8-24-15 yesterday, and got posted today? Hmmm, I submitted mine on 8-8-15. Mine still not posted. All I have is a tracking #. Hope I didn't get lost in the shuffle.

    Question re DJI's No Fly Zone override service

    I agree, it would be nice if DJI would make allowances for 333 waivers. After all if you have a pilots license and break the rules with your UAV, you would be putting your license at risk...
