Anyone else notice a difference in the way people react to you and your aircraft when you're flying?
I was flying this weekend at two different locations.
At one a guy rode his bike past, stopped to wait for his friends and noticed me. As his friends arrived he pointed up and said "that guy's got a multi-rotor... you know a drone" They seemed to think it was kind of cool, then rode on.
Later on I was flying a lighthouse that was right next to a public walkway along the river. People noticed my drone, pointed, some even waved. No one complained or seemed bothered in the least.
I've only been flying for a couple of years but since I started I've noticed a difference in people's reactions. It's like they're getting used to UAS and it's not such a big deal now that they see them all over in media and maybe even know someone who's got one?
I guess people used to be afraid of motorcars too.
Wonderful time to be alive
