do you have to travel for worry free flying. If you are in the country you probably have more options. I live in suburban Fort Worth. And have to find a spot for flying that is almost always by freeways, schools, stores etc.
I go about 5 miles and ive got 250 miles of open plains lol, no big towns till about 250 miles, one good thing about being in South Dakota.I'm fortunate and live right on the edge of countryside. I travel about 5 mins and I've got about 26 square miles of open grass and heathland to fly on. With lakes ponds, quarry and river which also helps when looking for somewhere to fly and video thats not just fields.

Most if not all minute man silos in South Dakota have been retired. And as far as fracking is concerned that's North Dakota not South Dakota.That and fracking, and Minuteman silos....
You say that but who really wants to tell a pissed off home owner that he needs to get it in writing first? I mean would you rather get punched in the face or fly over someones property? People see drones as invasion of privacy even if you can't see in their windows so while you say they can't do anything about it, yeah they can they could harass you or become violent. Personally I avoid any places that might make people think im spying on them.All airspace not restricted by government is open to flight. Private property owners have to request that you don't fly over their property in writing. As long as you obey max altitude rules, don't harass, obstruct or otherwise make a *** of yourself, there is mostly nothing anyone can do to stop you from enjoying your drone.
The guy that posted just above you, that's who you were replying to I think. If you look he's from TX, and if I'm not mistaken they have a law in TX that it is not legal to fly over private property without permission. Could be wrong, but I remember a guy from TX posting that very thing.All airspace not restricted by government is open to flight.

I thought this conversation took place a long time ago - and we concluded that the states, counties, cities, and towns have no authority over the NAS. IIRC, somebody proposed that they might possibly be given authority some day for a certain minimum height, such as 100 feet or 200 feet, but it was just conjecture.The guy that posted just above you, that's who you were replying to I think.

This is what I was meaning, see web page below. I had it a bit wrong, it was regarding talking an image of private land or person on that land w/o their permission that's illegal in TX., not the flight itself. Quote from this article "In Texas, the primary concern with drone operation appears to be devices which are capable of capturing images or video in flight without the consent of the individuals featured in the media. Generally speaking, taking images without consent to conduct surveillance is generally a crime." But sometimes you have to be a lawyer to read between the lines.I thought this conversation took place a long time ago - and we concluded that the states, counties, cities, and towns have no authority over the NAS.
