DJI NFZ
Lessons learned.
I was stoked for the upcoming holidays to fly my drone, however upon checking the resort I just found out that the resort is a DJI No-Fly-Zone due to nearby airport. So if you decide to go on a vacation and fly your drone make sure you check the DJI NFZ database before you book your hotel / resort.

Robert Gates that's not comforting
“This command-and-control business is complicated. We haven’t done something like this, kind of on the fly before. So it’s not surprising to me that it would take a few days to get it all sorted out.”-Robert Gates
That fucking wonderful thanks Gates. Well we continue to "not take a leading role" in the "no-fly zone" bombing of Libya... by launching more missiles, and our President comes out of the wood work to rally for more allies (apparently it's difficult to convince people this is the right coarse of action no wonder). I have a question. How the fuck did this happen? Didn't I elect a President who ran on a platform of ending war, not starting it? Can't we not afford to do well anything in this country, but we cant spend millions of dollars bombing libya?? To quote Lupe:
"I really think the war on terror is a bunch of bull shit, just a poor excuse to use up all your bullets"
Read this article from NTY maybe you'll get more encroragement from it than I did.
No Longer Standing By, At Last
After decades of rhetorics, propagating human rights and freedom the international community was heavily critized for being a bystander following the Libyan Carnage. Thousands of Libyans have lost their lives, while hundreds of thousands others fleeing the country. The previous UN sanctions along with harsh censure worldwide did not prevent Gaddafi from crushing the legimite outcry of his people.
The case of turning the other way has just ended. The UN Security Council just passed another resolution imposing a no-fly-zone upon Libya which will shoot any miliatry aircraft flying over libyan air territory. It is hoped that the measure will effectively constraint Gaddafi's brutal wrath against his own people. So far the LIbyan war planes have been the main factor in causing the major setback of the rebels, with the aerial bombardment many rebel-held areas fell into Gaddafi forces.
As soon as the people in Benghazi watched the Security council voted in favour of hte resolution, they all rejoiced blissfully, the long awaited help finally is underway. Not only them, but the rest of the planet share the same hope, that the no-fly zone will mark the end chapter of the bloodbath.
Regrettably speaking, the truth is not that possitively promising. Imposing a no-fly zone will entail the act of war. As the US Defense Secretary Robert Gates stated, the no-fly-zone will subsequently be followed by Libyan destruction of infrastructures as airports. No normal leaders would be pleased to have a foreign planes shelling their own country, and please bear in mind that Gaddafi is no normal leader.
He himself has explicitly remarked, that if the world goes crazy, then we will become crazy too. Few doubts, that Gaddafi will do everything in his power to resist the imposition of the zone, and that means an escalation of the conflict into an all-out war. And a greater war, is not what the Libyans need.
A no-fly zone will perhaps reduce the preponderance of Gaddafi's assault. But it may not be enough. Gaddafi still has powerful ground troops and mercenaries. Imposing a no-fly zone would not mean a thing, if Gaddafi decides to execute the attack only with ground forces.
In that case, then the world will be forced to do more than just exerting a no-fly zone. It will have to intervene completely, including sending ground troops. Many full sclae foreign intervention like in former Yugoslavia started with a No-fly zone. And at the end we will have another Iraq
Im not saying that im not relieved by the Security council decision. But we need to understand that it may not automatically put an end to the crisis, we may have to witness the ugliest part before it finally concludes.
