Thank you for those encouraging words.

Keep up the good works. Most of us don't have an issue, so we don't post anything. The ones that do have an issue, will post something negative. It's just human nature. The video was great by the way. Be safe.

No planes?? Wasn't that an airplane passing under you at 3:47?View attachment 133510

Well spotted! Sure looked like a plane to me. It seems too fast to be a bird and flies in too perfect of a straight line. If you can time it just right, there is a futbol field or something that it flies right over the center of. Pause it right there and you can just make out the silhouette from above (I guess a large screen helps, also).

Oops! I missed your pic. You got a great shot of the silhouette as well. I couldn't tell you had drawn a circle on your pic until I blew it up. It almost looks as though this flight would have even been too high for that particular airplane. It sure looks low.

It's actually a low-flying helicopter.

Really? You don't tire of the endless 'what ifs' and 'do you have 107s' and " faa this and that"? Waking up could be a tragic event. How about just enjoying the video. Who is this 'us" you speak of? If the shoe fits wear it..

The “Us” I speak of, are the people who understand how dangerous drones can be, and fly responsibly…

I can’t find any reports on Google of a passenger plain forced to land, much less crash, by hitting or sucking in a drone.

RPSM, another post here said droneDJ has a report of an airplane hitting a drone and retuned to the airport but most impacts as of late have been balloons. looking the forum for impacts... I would put a link but now I can't find it and I just was reading it a moment ago... :-(

Here's the topic. It was an Embraer Envoy 175 departing Chicago on August 22. A reporter that I contacted said that the FAA had concluded that there was a Mylar balloon involved rather than a drone. But that's apparently in doubt. I just looked at the FAA preliminary incident reports and there's still nothing at all mentioned about about it. So, drone or balloon?

In another recent incident, a Cessna 172 was damaged when it collided with a police department drone. August 10. Near Toronto. The 172 had substantial damage to the sheet metal on the nose and an engine teardown and prop check are needed.

172 Substantially Damaged By Police Drone - AVweb

All the Canadian authorities are looking into the midair collision of a flight school Cessna 172 and fair-sized drone that could have ended a lot worse than it did. The fact that it happened within a mile of an airport and that the drone operator was a local police department has added some...
