Abling said, and decided to
do site surveys of all three
ranges in Oregon.
“They were very happy
with Pendleton and the
support they could get here,”
Abling said.
Flyox I would be the
largest drone to fly at the
Pendleton UAS Range
— much larger than the
ArcticShark, which was
unveiled to the public
in March. Flyox has a
maximum takeoff weight of
8,378 pounds with a 45-foot
wingspan and 145 mph
cruising speed. A Cessna, for
comparison, weighs about
2,000 pounds.
The vehicle is designed
to drop water on forest fires,
and has a payload of more
than 4,000 pounds. It may be
customized in the future for
other uses as well, including
agriculture and general cargo
deliveries.
Abling said he expects to
have a conference call with
Singular Aircraft sometime
between next Wednesday
and Friday, when the range
will receive final word.
“They absolutely liked
our capabilities,” Abling said.
“When we were in Dallas, we
had a lot of people come up.
Our name and reputation are
definitely getting out there.”

PENDLETON — The Pendleton Fire Department
declared that open burning ends Monday. The ban
applies to the city, Rieth Water District and the fire
districts of Lower McKay, McKay Dam, and Riverside.
Pendleton does not allow burn barrels within city
limits, but the ban does not apply to burn barrels in the
fire districts. However, people only may burn in barrels
on “green days,” according to the statement from the
fire department. To find out if a day is “green,” call the
Umatilla County burn line at 541-278- 6397, or visit the
county website at http://www.co.umatilla.or.us/.
Open burning is any outdoor burning, backyard
burning, and piles of yard debris. Burning stumps, field
burns, burning trash, commercial waste, construction
debris, and bonfires require permits available from the
Pendleton Fire Department at no charge.
For more information visit the Pendleton Fire
Department at 911 S.W. Court Ave. or www.pendleton.

Pendleton open burning ends Monday
The manager of Pend-
leton’s Unmanned Aerial
Systems Range said he
expects to hear next week if
the Flyox I, a massive Span-
ish-made drone designed to
assist with firefighting, will
run test flights at the Eastern
Oregon Regional Airport.
Darryl Abling said the
drone manufacturer, Singular
Aircraft, is considering
Pendleton along with fellow
Oregon UAS ranges in Warm
Springs and Tillamook. The
final decision could be made
as early as Wednesday.
“This could be a huge win
for the Oregon ranges and the
city of Pendleton, if it comes
here,” Abling said.
Singular Aircraft has
partnered with a Canadian
company called Unmanned
Aircraft International in its
effort to gain U.S. certifica-
tion for the Flyox I, a move
that Abling said would
essentially open the door
to marketing the product
worldwide.
Abling said he had a
chance meeting with repre-
sentatives of Unmanned
Aircraft International at
the recent Association for
Unmanned Vehicle Systems
International trade show in
Dallas. The company was
looking for U.S. airspace,

Corrections
The June 2 article “EOTEC
will hire manager” incorrectly
stated Sheriff Terry Rowan
was present at the joint meeting
between the Hermiston City
Council and Umatilla County
Commission. He was not.
One of the businesses in-
volved in the bathroom re-
model in Friday’s “Tips and
Kicks” column, Sheets Paint-
ing LLC, was incorrectly
identified. The East Orego-
nian works hard to be accu-
rate and sincerely regrets any
errors. If you notice a mistake
in the paper, please call 541-
