Yup, and I'm going to call this in finally.

I can guarantee it is NOT marked as a military aircraft. As I said, I can see the pilot, who saw me taking pics/vid and my wife swears he flew lower and over our house several times. I haven't ascertained if it is the same aircraft each time, but it is a 3 wheeled Cessna, very much like I was...

I was in the yard yesterday, got pics, video, and after I felt he was long gone, I launched my Mavic to my ceiling, which was just below 395 feet - I can GUARANTEE this plane was around 200 feet above my house. And! I have it on video - this guy cuts his motor down, and clearly you can hear when...

I didn't ask questions here to completely ignore you all. I'm just going to assume that I do not guage the height of the aircraft properly, and I definitely need to get a replacement for B4UFLY! Thanks to all, the next time I look up and see a plane right over my house I guess I'll just have...

Thanks for the help/clarification. Especially the fact that B4UFLY isn't supported. Wow, that is news. I guess I need to get more informed, as always. The NOLF airfield is the one that is now covered in solar panels, but if they were practicing things I suppose that would explain a lot. It is...

@MS Coast I am looking at your website, and trying to figure out just exactly where I'm at on this map. Is B4UFLY not a reliable thing now?

Not at all, I live on the mainland side in Navarre. I'm very well aware of the restricted airspaces around here, but not where I live, at least I've looked several times (B4UFLY, etc) and where I am there are no restrictions. And, no, these are not any type of military aircraft, of course it...

Because I routinely fly my drones to just below 400 feet above my house to see what the beach looks like. I am less than half a mile from the beach, and whether anyone wants to contest my judgement, they ARE flying, and doing stalls, much, much lower than 1500, and the guy yesterday prompting my...

Absolutely! I've never been in the air with my drones when there are aircraft, and would NEVER.

@Meta4 - I agree, it is hard to accurately estimate a plane's height above you... EXCEPT, I know that when I take my Mavic up to see the ocean nearby, it is far higher than the plane was flying yesterday. I know brother... accurate? No, but if there aren't any planes I see/hear today I am going...

Well, I play it safe always, so if there was an aircraft in the vicinity I simply wouldn't or have not flown. I just thought that if I have a ceiling, pardon the cheesy Top Gun reference, they would also have some sort of hard deck to stay above. There is, and never will be, any scenario where...

I live in a neighborhood that has absolutely NO restrictions above my house. I usually do not fly much out of the space above my house, or around my property. B4UFLY shows nothing here that would prevent me from flying to my 400 foot limit. So, knowing what my drones look like at 400 feet above...

I never thought twice about the friggin cartels... yeah, I think I'll leave the drone home. Sigh....

I am planning a trip in a couple of weeks to San Carlos (Sonora). There is definitely conflicting information out there, but I believe that if it is less than the 250g you can fly recreationally. Please let me know if you know something I don't! My wife wants me to simply leave my drone at home...

Sorry @AlienDrone , it has been so hot and humid the past month I've kind of put most outside stuff on hold. I flew my Mavic 2 Zoom yesterday, first time in a while. I really do like it, but was thinking of selling it, and my Mini2, and just getting a newer Mini3Pro or something. The M2Z has...
