## Description

Drones earn their licenses over Rome, New York: Griffiss International, a B-52 base until 1995, is one of the FAA's designated test sites for unmanned aircraft systems, hosting beyond-visual-line-of-sight trials above the Mohawk Valley. The 11,800-foot runway also welcomes widebody jets – for maintenance, as an MRO operation overhauls large aircraft on the field. There is no airline service and no cargo handling; air freight for the valley moves through Syracuse or Albany along I-90. Griffiss specializes in aircraft that are parked and aircraft without pilots – everything except scheduled flying.
