I live fairly close to a Naval Air Station (class D airspace) that is surrounded by multiple restricted areas. I wanted to take some pictures of a lighthouse that is inside one if g he restricted areas (R-4007). I gave the chief of the control tower a call and he sent me a form they came up with to request permission to fly (as a hobbyist - I am Part 107 certified). I submitted the form for flying, and received permission for flying this weekend. There are some limitations (max AGL 300 feet, call the tower 30 minutes prior and at completion of drone operations).... turn around time on the form was about 2 weeks...
