    I treed my Classic.

    I was flying at night on my home property. Trying to get some sun down shots. and some long distance city lights. Anyway, long story short. Got it in a tree. In over 20 years of droning. Only my second time. Got it down, unfortunately the hard way and it hit the dirt from about 25 feet. Turns...

    Police are using drones to read license plates.

    Police Patrol Cars have had this technology for over 25 years. Capture the plate number, run the plate through the system and the patrol car pulls you over if you have any outstanding tickets or warrants or worse. Happened to me for a ticket I received over 15 years ago. And forgot :-) Cops were...

    Drone pilot going to jail

    It would be interesting to know the defense strategy that limited his Jail Time.....He deserved so much more. Plead down? Federal trial. The FAA should have taken the opportunity to make an example out of him. And put a halt to the idiots! I am disappointed.

    My right to privacy does not include drones flying overhead. My right to free speech has never been hindered.

    Should Drones Spy on American Citizens?

    My parents lived through Communism, Socialism, Nazism and Fascism. The USA gave them the opportunity to come to this country as legal immigrants. So here I live free and not a self imposed victim of the boogie man. Zooming and Booming in SC.

    Should Drones Spy on American Citizens?

    I'm well into my 70s. Live with wife and dog on a few acres. Been flying drones for over 20 years. Ham Radio is one hobby amongst dozens that I have tried. Not violating any zoning laws or worse. Fireworks are legal here. Along with shooting my guns in the back yard. Don't commit crimes via...
