A few months ago a member of this forum posted a pic of JFK's runways taken from his Phantom 3... shocking. He didn't understand why I responded negatively.

What? That means he must have deliberately disabled his GPS, i.e., he knew he was in a no-fly zone. Good grief.

I totally agree. Whenever I tell someone that I have a quad copter (I try not to use the word "drone"), they cringe, and they end up calling it a drone... then I get lumped into the group of idiots that fly over airports, or hover in people's back yards only to have the quad get shot.... ugh....

The first brick-and-mortar quad store will be opening here in Rhode Island in 3 weeks, and it actually made the local news last night. If people weren't idiots...

It should be legal for the police to (legally ) slap stupid people like this one about the head and shoulders before telling them "here's your sign":D

Found this, dates back to January this year. If you pause/play real fast you can see the octocopter?

I never spotted the impact, that would have been a giveaway as such an incident would be played 24 hrs a day by the media. But it is a **** good fake.
 
Would have never guessed....
Southwest said that they don't have airplanes with winglets, and the website of the graphics artist is on the winglet, and whomever was holding the camera didn't react. A few news organizations did play it as real for a few hours. One kept it up for a day - but they also think "The Onion" is real news.

FYI Southwest absolutely has planes with winglets.
