Isn't a lot of the em[ptyt open space in NV under BLM control, and therefore off limits to "drones"?

(Also, good luck getting your experimental UAV back when it mysteriously goes down over Area 51...)

I'm pretty sure BLM means open for drones... It's national parks that are off limits. BLM is the "everything else" of US land and in general has the most relaxed rules. Like, you can land a plane anywhere on a dry BLM lakebed, for one.

Ahhh, you're right (here from .au I kind of automatically substitute "National Parks" for "BLM", cause that's a reasonable close translation to our local government nomenclature. I forget Natioanl Parks and BLM aren't synonyms.)
