I experienced a little bit of the effects of irresponsible piloting of a "drone" this weekend while attending a couple of car shows. I just bought my dream car and a guy in my area reached out to me and invited me to attend a car show specific to my model of car. It was a great time with lots of ridiculously cool cars. I brought my Phantom along to capture a couple of photos of all of the cars, but since I felt like a guest, I asked the guy who invited me if it would be an issue before I put the Phantom in the air. He pretty much thanked me for asking before I flew my Phantom and then asked me not to do it. He explained that a friend of his had his car damaged when a drone of some sort crashed into the hood of his car while he was attending a car show. Several witness were standing around and watch the pilot of the drone grab the aircraft from the hood of the car and walk off without taking responsibility. It's a shame I stayed grounded because it would have been a fantastic photo opportunity!
