Watch Faux News for an hour and you'll be more stupid.Your right, the media is just so concerned for our well being nowadays, they are almost a charity. Watch fox news for an hour and get enlightened
Can you point to "any" instance of a toy copter bringing down a commercial aircraft?
I have a theory...maybe the pilot lied. Some of you will remember a few months back, a police helicopter "almost ran into a drone" but when the transcript was revealed, it turned out they followed the quad. My theory is that SOME of the reports are just because the pilots are afraid of being replaced. And for good reason:
And that video was 5 YEARS ago.
Thanks guys.
I don't feel the media is the problem.
Over & Out
There was a moron driving on the highway this morning. Think we must ban all cars.

Where quads fall short is loiter time. There isn't a multi-rotor equivalent of a news helicopter that can fly for a few hours while carrying the heavy optical equipment to zoom in and out of news events..
One for Mythbusters to deal with. Especially as Adam is a confirmed Inspire pilot now.I'm a bit incredulous that a drone can be irresponsibly flown at 2700 feet, into the path of an airliner on approach, causing a disruption of the landing process, and you take this as an opportunity to lay some blame on the media.
I've yet to see a report that appears as shrill as you imply. If you have a link, that would be helpful.
LOL, no in flight swaps, but they will be recharging while in flight:The tech is still in it's infancy.....by the time we're all playing checkers in the park (well, I already do sometimes) , instead of in-flight refueling, they'll have drone in-flight battery swaps
We just can't see far enough ahead

Who's watching the watchers?! No one, apparently!
incredulous
Oh my! That's a fancy word ya got there bubba Clipper. I'm just a lowly drone operator.
Yeahhhh.. Imma borrow that one for posterity sake and loan you a few.....
"Pissed"..."Annoyed"...."twisted"......you don't have to return em but you can use em ;-)
But now about the 2700ft....yeah that's stupid. agreed.
Neither pissed, annoyed, nor twisted are synonyms for incredulous. Let me know if you need help with "synonym."
