    Mavic Mini Flew Away

    CareyL makes a valid point. Those generous members who give their time to help locate lost drones are real stars, but we seem to be missing the point that so many fliers are putting others at risk with their irresponsible actions time after time.

    There’s no fool like an old fool...Mavic Mini lost!!
