flying near a military base airport

[Corey Tucker]

i was flying over a water park when all the sudden out of nowhere a big military cargo plane flew by real low. when i got home and looked at a map, it turns out i was a couple of miles away from a military base and didn't even know it. i thought dji was supposed to block you from flying near an airport? are the rules different from flying around military bases?

Most military bases have airstrips Corey which you saw and I believe I would look at a map before I flew anywhere I hadn't before to see just what was there .
Know before ya go bro

The no-fly zone at the military base near my home is very small

ok well i guess thats ok then. if its not like a real airport then that's good. i just didn't want anyone saying anything for me flying over there. but i was staying low enough anyway i think.

If I get too close the phantom just bounces against the geofence! It's a pretty weird experience!

wow, that would be weird for sure. i guess it would do the same thing if you had a mission planned to go through there? i wonder if it would just rth or something.
