Feds announce Nevada as test site for drone aircraft
Ooh Boy - its about to get interesting.... Boulder City is specifically targeted as one of the testing areas in Nevada! Check six! and Twelve, Nine, Three!
The Federal Aviation Administration announced today that Nevada is one of six sites nationwide designated for the development of commercial drones, an industry that state leaders estimate could drive about $2.5 billion in economic activity.
“This is wonderful news for Nevada that creates a huge opportunity for our economy...No state makes a better candidate than ours,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said in a statement Monday.

Boulder City Review; Nevada, Boulder City being considered for civil drone testing
By Jack Johnson
Boulder City Review
City staff, in coordination with the Nevada unmanned aircraft systems program office, hosted a public meeting Monday at the Boulder City Smith Center regarding Boulder City potentially becoming a testing area for unmanned aircraft.
Last year the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 was passed by Congress, requiring the Federal Aviation Administration to integrate civil unmanned aircraft systems, or drones, into the national airspace by September 2015.
Gov. Brian Sandoval’s economic development office is leading a statewide effort for Nevada to be one of six national areas selected as a test site for the integration.
If Nevada’s application is approved, Boulder City will be one of the state’s three test ranges, Boulder City airport manager Kerry Ahearn said........
Lucky you !! Two things in addition to crazy "test" vehicles in your airspace:
This is not going to be pretty. GA is not going to like them, they are not going to like you-- they have the Fed on their side ... At least you guys won't need to pay for a colonoscopy this year.
Better read the article I posted on ramp checks ;)
