The Academy of Model Aeronautics has published its response to the FAA’s notice of proposed rulemaking regarding the regulating of small unmanned aerial systems, also known as sUAS.
The AMA website leads into their response with the following statement: “The Academy believes that the FAA must address and adjudicate the 33,000 plus comments to its interpretation of the Special Rule for Model Aircraft and resolve the issues and concerns presented before moving forward in finalizing the small UAS Rule.” Wing walking is one of the earliest forms of aerial death-defying acts and ANN has learned of the passing of Airshow Hall of Famer Johnny Kazian, who was known as the Greatest Wingwalker of All Time. Kazian performed with such air show legends as Joe Hughes, Jim Franklin, and Dave Dacy.
