I couldn't agree more with those making the point about pilots blaming drones for everything they see but cannot identify.
Unfortunately, if an incident turns out not to be a drone, the news media never issue a corrective story........it just gets left there for the public to go on believing that these drones are causing chaos everywhere and the people associated with drones are, by nature, troublemakers.
These pilots swearing they saw a drone operating at 8,000 feet and above pretty much eliminates Phantoms from the conversation.
While I have seen guys who have flown P4s to high altitudes, by the time they get up that high, it's pretty much time to start the descent , if you want any battery life left when you land.
So, it's not like Phantoms can climb to 5,500 feet and spend 15 minutes flying around causing trouble around airports, and then have lots of battery life left to make an easy landing.
