I could see maybe a govt. authority like airport security having authorization to shoot at a drone in restricted airspace, but it would have to some kind of special ammo like rubber bullets or plastic shotgun BBs that can take out a plastic drone but won't endanger the public. As far as private...

I swear to God --- you better hope I don't find out who you are. We all love our drones but we DO NOT disrupt major airports because of a stupid hobby! These good people are leaving a stressful week at work and trying to get home to enjoy Christmas with their families, you jerky IDIOT. I get...

I'm certainly not advocating wanton disregard of incoming manned aircraft when flying our drones --- like I said, basic common sense mandates that an unmanned plastic toy should always give way to "souls on board". What I am questioning is this conundrum of "you are allowed to fly under 400...

Still doesn't answer the conundrum of why drones are allowed to be in the sub-400' airspace but if there is a collision, we are automatically at fault just because the other machine has a human inside of it. The law is not supposed to be contradictory --- but that is exactly what the FAA is...

I don't expect the entire aviation world to adapt to our hobby -- but the FAA could really clear things up by telling everyone "Hey you drone guys stay below 400 feet and all you heli and Cessna pilots stay above 500 feet and that way we can all enjoy the airspace and nobody is running into each...

Yes, like I said, common sense says that a drone pilot should always take necessary measures to avoid a collision with a manned aircraft --- but that certainly doesn't mean a drone pilot is ALWAYS at fault if a collision occurs. For example, on many roads, cars and bicycles have equal legal...

I've been waiting many years to hear these "very good reasons" that helis and Cessnas need to fly below 500' AGL? Outside of crop-dusters and police helis doing perp searches --- why do manned aircraft need to be under 500 ft? If a Medevac heli takes off from an accident site on the freeway...

Sorry but your response only makes the whole situation more confusing, not less. If the FAA explicitly states that drone pilots are legally able to fly our machines under 400 ft. AGL, and manned helicopters are also allowed to fly under 400 ft. AGL and there happens to be a collision --- why is...

FAA is certainly not helping to "de-confuse" the public airspace and who can use it. The FAA says they want us drone pilots to keep our toys under 400 ft. AGL at all times, but yet I see plenty of helicopters flying under that ceiling. So if there is a collision --- who is at fault? I...

I lost my faith in Lego about 20 years ago when they started flooding the market with "theme kits" like Star Wars and superhero sets. When I was little kid in the 70's, the only Lego set you could buy was the general bucket of bricks and it was up to your kiddie imagination to decide what you...

LOL --- "Trump took on the most corrupt political machine in our history" --- more of that "Deep State" conspiracy theory, huh? I guess when a Faux News-Hannity-Alex Jones junkie like you starts spewing fake news and fake facts, it's like a smorgasbord of deplorable snacks! :p And Mueller is...

LOL, well if that's what you Faux News junkies like to tell yourself to let you sleep at night. Last time I checked the REAL news --- there have already been over 125 charges filed against five Americans, one Dutch national, and 26 Russian nationals. And those charges against Russians are not...

Mueller and his ace team of investigators are digging DEEP into all of Trump's criminal activities, dating all the way back the mid-80's when he started associating with Russian mobsters who were buying up his condos with dirty money. This is gonna be the greatest takedown of any high profile...

Couldn't agree more with your post. I've known plenty of people from high school who went on to become military or cops. Trust me when I say these are the kinds of people who have fragile egos who need a gun and a uniform to feel important around others. Lots of insecurity in the minds of...

Trump admitted to Lesley Stahl that he came up with the term "fake news" to try and discredit all the bad things the media says about him. Just like a toddler throwing a tantrum instead of dealing with negative things like an adult. America is sick and tired of having a draft-dodging...
