Millyard Tenant Highlighted Spitz Industrial Design The sky’s the limit for Merrimack drone startup By DAVE SOLOMON New Hampshire Union Leader MERRIMACK — A former Apple executive and his son have set up shop in Merrimack with one of the few FAA commercial licenses to operate a drone business in New Hampshire, and that business is about to take off — literally and figuratively. Rick Spitz, who with his son, John, launched SI Drones four years ago, recently received his waiver from the Federal Aviation Administration to operate drones commercially. The FAA had until last year prohibited commercial drone operation, restricting use of the remote-controlled aircraft to hobbyists.
