Flying drones is restricted in Delaware State Parks

With the increasing popularity of unmanned aircraft, particularly hobby drones, DNREC’s Division of Parks & Recreation reminds visitors to Delaware State Parks that the use of drones on all park lands is restricted and otherwise illegal without proper authorization.

State park regulations specifically prohibit the use of radio-controlled model aircraft or flying machines, including hobby drones except in park areas that have been designated for them.

However, while drone use is illegal in Delaware State Parks, park regulations permit organized activities - which includes hobbyists flying their drones - at the discretion of the director of the Division of Parks & Recreation.

The perception of what a drone is has changed drastically.Are these being used to draw attention away from the real drones that look like miniature jet planes? The real ones have the capacity to do major damage,with missile capabilities and who knows what else.Those other things with the helicopter blades are like toys in comparison.I'm not falling for it.
