As a retired airline pilot.  I believe nothing will happen about drone intrusions until a midair happens and people die.  That's just the way stuff works with government.

Prior to my retirement two years ago, the cadre of pilots in all the airlines was screaming to the NTSB about the problem..... deaf ears.......

..... and it will happen.  It's just a numbers game at this point until the inevitable happens.

Interesting.  What is the ceiling for a drone?  This video is likely taken at 5000+ feet AGL.

Mike,

 

 

This is 1000% a Real Video. ... .I am less certain about the drone, but it looks real to me. 

 

I wish it was just as legal for me to shoot these down as they seem to believe it is for them to fly them over my head. 

 

There were three drones flying over the 4th of July Crowd out in Fulshear,  I am not sure how safe having these in the air over a large event, and should be prohibited. 

 

I guess I could start my own Surface to Air Missile Hobby and see how that works our for me. :) There is a RF weapon of sorts that looks to interfere with the communications between the Drone ans the remote. It looks easy to build with an Android device. 

 

I love toys, but would never drive my RC car on the Freeway or endanger people overhead either. 

 

 

Have Fun,

Jeff

Drone Strike

Does a video show a drone airplane striking the wing of an airliner?

But is it real or a fake?

Good Morning,

 

This morning we were discussing a Drone Hitting an Airplane video and I want to provide a link. 

Apparently we have several Ham that straddle both Hobbies and a few pilots.  

 

 

 

 

Have Fun,

Jeff
