Hasn't been trouble with fires in the US in quite awhile? What rock have you been hiding under? https://abcnews.go.com/US/live-updates/california-wildfires-los-angeles-weather/?id=117613594 Mark

I’ve had four nuclear chemical stress tests over the last 25 years. No big deal. The "discomfort" lasts about 30 seconds. It's NOT painful, it's just uncomfortable. Your heart rate rises, you get a little warm, you feel a little sweaty, then it's over. No big deal. Mark

A classic example of backpedaling. 🤣 Mark

Peter Akemann flew his DJI Mini 3 Pro beyond visual line of sight too. I am sure he was either ignorant of the rules or didn't care (sound familiar?). But, in the end, that didn't matter. His BVLOS actions bit him in the butt. The Justice Department gave him the equivalent of a virtual...

PARTNERSHIPS!! You know, companies like Boeing, etc. Even companies like ZipLine and Amazon. Mark

While many of us are hobbyists, that fact doesn't dismiss the fact that the privilege of flying a drone in a shared airspace comes with responsibilities. At times, those responsibilities, if ignored, can lead to serious consequences. In other words, facts and understanding those facts matter...

He *doesn't* understand the difference, by his own admission. He wrote: "...are you not curious what "research" the FAA was conducting that was so important that it warranted gaslighting the entire American public?" The FAA was not conducting the "research". The FAA APPROVED the "research"...

ZipLine was "hiding" its new New Jersey drone test facility in plain sight. It's was so secretive, ZipLine employees posted about it on X (formerly known as Twitter). Notice that the opening of the facility (early November) coincides with the timing of the increase in reported drone...

Again... The reports don't state the FAA was doing research. A completely different entity (or entities) were doing "research", which the FAA had approved. The FAA isn't a research and development agency. The FAA is a REGULATORY agency. The fact that you do not understand the difference...

Try again... The reports don't say the FAA was doing secret research. The FAA was simply AWARE of "research" that was taking place and had approved it. The likelihood is HIGH that the company that received FAA approval for operating in New Jersey airspace was ZipLine, which began operating a...

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 <-------- That is for all of the people who thought New Jersey residents were imagining things. Mark

Excellent point. Take, for instance, the drone pilot who flew at Torrey Pines Glider Port in San Diego which resulted in his drone becoming entangled in a paraglider's rigging. The City Charter prohibits motorized aircraft at the glider port and the alleged pilot's website claimed he was Part...

Those who have been paying attention took notice of this: ZipLine has some pretty large drones. Not exactly SUV sized drones but, when viewed in the sky from the ground I can easily understand how *some* people might have assumed the ZipLine drones are larger than they really are. So, what...

Watch: It's okay to put away the tinfoil hats! Mark

It will be interesting to see what happens if it turns out the DJI Mini belongs to some famous person with nearly unlimited funds to hire lawyers. Or, not interesting if this all gets handled quietly and out of the public eye. Mark
