I've read some of the other pilots talking about getting a bright yellow/orange safety vest for when flying. I did a job down at a concrete production facility, lots of forklifts and trucks moving around, and it occurred to me that I should probably get one for my safety especially on a site like that.
I ordered this one on Amazon and wore it on Sunday at another job. This one was at a new school whose construction is being finalized. The main entrance was open, so I drove right in, parked, threw the vest on, set up the bird, and took off. There were some other workers there, and what looked like teachers or administrators coming and going. Nobody paid me any mind the whole time.
I can't say it 100% proved it, but I do think wearing the vest gives you the "supposed to be here" look. Even though I know I was supposed to be there, it was nice not having curious people asking all sorts of questions or giving me strange looks. I highly recommend one of these for you pros for safety and a little peace of mind.
