Congressman Richard Hanna is urging the Federal Aviation Administration to speed up progress on integrating unmanned aircraft systems into the national airspace.
Congressman Richard Hanna was joined by Representative Peter King of New York's Second district at Griffiss International Airport to discuss the role of defense industries in Rome and how they impact National security.
Griffiss International Airport in Rome has been selected by the Federal Aviation Administration as one of six sites nationwide to test unmanned aircraft.
The nation’s military leaders are considering two sites in upstate New York, including the former Griffiss Air Force Base, and one in Maine as potential missile interceptor sites on the East Coast.
First it was the taxi cabs, then it was a call for county term limits. Now, Oneida County Legislator Dave Gordon wants to change the name of Rome's Griffiss International Airport.
