I drove by a city park yesterday and saw a dad with his young son in the middle of the open field setting up a Phantom to fly. The Phantom was on the ground and was an older one with the colored tape on the arms. Dad and son were huddled over the controller maybe 10 feet away from it, and I could see pop pointing out things on the controller that the son (Maybe 6 years old.) was holding.
I know the city doesn't allow drones at all in the local parks under an ordinance, plus he was only one mile from the airport and slightly to the side of the final approach path to the runway.
Would you stop and say anything to him about the FAA rules about the airport a couple of blocks away or the city ordinance?
(Fwiw, I didn't, but wondered if he even knew of them?)
