majority of children of this country specially those who lives in detaining camps still and those who lives in slums all these children have unmanned model aircraft....even parents can forget about the rising cost of living and keep on sending kites while their children handle unmanned aircraft...Jesus Christ !!!!!

Model Aircraft were banned because the Air Force 'experts' did not have a clue of what it is about. It was never a threat to National Security. By banning these educational toys we brought up a generation of children who were not exposed to this interesting hobby. All the model flying enthusiasts, save a few, in SL are older folk and it was high time the ban was lifted. In the past some of these enthusiasts went on to become engineers and pilots in our National Carrier and the air force and were dedicated employees to whom aviation was not a job but a way of life. This is the way to go!

I fear that it might be NATO (No Action Talk Only)

What has removal of unmanned aircraft ban got to do with Air Force's 60th anniversary.

If the ban is removed due to the improvement in security situation it should be removed. What has Air Force's annivesary got to do with country's security situation?

The same way if they can lift the restriction on the remotes as well it would be great. Because currently you have to go to trc and import export control both places to get a remote cleared, and that also only with the detailed specs. Most remotes don't come with detailed technical specs which trc requries.
