If it has, it's at least in part due to some very irresponsible behavior on the part of some of your fellow drone pilots. I watched one video from which someone had taken from a drone hovering not more than a couple of hundred feet above the final approach of the active runway at Las Vegas. Watched a Boeing 757 pass directly underneath it. Simply inexcusable. I've hit seagulls, hawks, and other birds in planes; I know little about drones...I'm sure that they're light but if a plane hits one on an approach, I'm sure that it could take out an engine, do a number on a radome, or who knows what else? I'm not anti-drone, just anti-moron. And what are they doing when not flying drones by the airport...shining lasers in the eyes of the pilots passing overhead?

 

I haven’t posted here in years. My current ride:

 

Nice shot

 

Nice shots! Location? I'll try to post some pics of my ride in a few weeks. It's been down since March 15 for re-paint and interior refurb. I'm headed back to the paint shop in CO tonight to layout the custom scheme/stripes tomorrow morning.

 

Looks like it came from a calendar picture.

 

This is one of the aircraft I flew in the Canadian Arctic...

Ahh, talked with Moncton center more times than I can remember. Nice gravel guards!
