I have talked to the airport and am told its not restricted airspace. The airport is almost 10 miles away.
You must not be flying in Hartford then because the City Hall is only 2 miles from the airport. If the city hired you to do that you are in violation of Part 107 commercial flying rules. Do you have a commercial pilot's license?
Don't mean to be negative, Scott, to your fun but everything you keep posting speaks criminal activity. People have been put in Federal prison for doing what you claim to be doing. Two years ago I took the course for the FAA exam but decided not to spend the money for the commercial license. Then more and more restrictions were put in place and everyplace I wanted to fly became illegal so I packed my two drones away and gave up on it.
I will be flying there next week by request of the town, in preparation for the towns 150 Birthday.
This is a violation of the Commercial Pilot's License requirements. You are not permitted to fly for hire, whether or not you got paid.
I suggest you get your permission from the FAA not "somebody" at the airport. You need to contact Air Traffic Control officer in Charge 30 minutes prior to flight and establish a flight plan. The ATC will then give you instructions for takeoff and when you have to be back on the ground. But if you are flying outside the restricted air space - you don't need to bother them.
Install B4UFly app on your iphone as that is a good source for TFR's. I haven't kept up but the rules on flight plans were changing this year and internet flight plan filings were to be automated in the internet so you don't have to be calling ATC. The Chief of Police is a good resource for clearance to fly over City Hall but he has no authority over ATC.
I just don't want to see you get into a heap of legal trouble. These FAA boys are quite serious. The National Parks service are also.
