The FAA and only the FAA have control of the skies. All airports are off limits to drones, unless the licensed operator has filed the paperwork and received permission.

We fly airports all the time with our airplane, and even military bases, but we have a human pilot in the airplane talking to the control tower.

Area 51 has a permanent flight restriction, like all of Washington DC. Over F.t Sill, OK they have live artillery fire so no one will fly over without permission. If the range is cold, we have flown over.

Langley AFB, and all military bases are watched by satellites from Russia and China. We have flown and photographed several military bases. It is no big deal.

I suspect the folks at Langley know who is flying over. I hope so anyway.
