    CLOSE ENCOUNTERS - Aircraft and drones

    How hard is it to spot a Drone from an aircraft or an aircraft from a drone. New video shows both pilot and drone operators have only seconds. This video was produced last year by some fellow pilots and I around how hard it is to see a drone. As my old flight instructor used to say WATCH...
