SEQUOIA AND KINGS CANYON NATIONAL PARKS, Calif. July 24, 2016 – Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), or drones, are on the rise in our nation’s airspace. While most drone operators are recreating privately, the Federal Aviation Administration recently passed legislation to simplify the process of getting licensed as a commercial drone operator. Drones are increasingly popular and have many useful applications. So, why aren’t visitors allowed to fly drones in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks? https://www.nps.gov/seki/learn/news/parks-firefighters-voice-concerns-over-drone-usage.htm
