That is a really fine little museum for 8th AF that they have there. This simple little wood frame building, plain hallway lined with Medal of Honor certificates both sides. I took my time to read each one. Special place. PPL 1974 while in USAF where I had earned a spot in an education and commissioning program. I was on my way to UPT until I failed an eye test so I got my PPL on my dime at Sacramento Executive. Later earned the instrument and MEL then CP. Retired now, and unable to afford flying anymore but my last 15 years of active flying was in a C-414 Chancellor... the short nose one. Put a lot of hours in her.

Right, except that in case of flying drones commercially, you have undergo training, pass exams, have medical certifications, analyze weather, avoid other traffic, obey to xxx rules, follow zone restrictions and get ATC permissions. LOL.
