NOTAM 0/8326

[WyattEarp]

Anyone notice the latest "Don't Fly Drones Here" https://www.mapbox.com/drone/no-fly/#9/38.7573/-77.6060?

There is a NOTAM (0/8326) around DC for THIRTY (30) MILES!

I'm confused... Are you Wyatt Earp or Doc Holiday?

I was just reading this separately (Google has this thread on the first page for 'NOTAM 0/8326'; I was just about to make my own). I'm curious how strict this is, especially given DJI's work on the subject. Where I live, I hit a ceiling at 180ft. I can't imagine that's high enough for anyone to care (but granted I am also on the relative outskirts of the entire TFR - I'd imagine flying around DC at any appreciable altitude would be questioned quite readily).

I know at least one other person is nearby; curious if there are other Phantom pilots in the MD/VA area that still fly, or have ever had any problems with federal law enforcement over it.

So tired of people calling them "drones" .
