are the days of the drone coming to an end

[detectorguy]

I called my buddy I used to fly with and he told me that he sold his drone because he thought the days of the drone were coming to an end.

We’re all entitled to be wrong.

 

[THE CYBORG]

I can only assume he got board with his.

 

[old man mavic]

whatever happens in the future. i am sure that despite all the issues going on in the world, the end of drone flying wont be on the list

 

[Oneball 1971]

Maybe he meant that because all the new rules, regulations and tests etc that his days of droning are coming to an end?

I think that the DAY OF THE DRONE is only just beginning...especially if things such as "SOCIAL DISTANCING" continue to occur...jmo... be smart fly safe

 

[Lastrexking]

We’re only just getting started.

 

[Formosa Straight]

The world ends every year. Yet here we are.

Already I had the police arrive to question me based on a neighbor's phone call.

This has curbed my enthusiasm to fly a little along with the talk about remote ID and throw in a couple of paranoid onlookers and the fun is gone ?

Your buddy is wrong. I'd hate to go though life with such a pessimistic attitude.

I sincerely hope your friend’s negative attitude doesn’t rub off on you. Don’t let it.

I think if you like going to the city park and dog fighting in sport mode with a couple of buddy's..well that ain't gonna last. You do have to pick good time's and places to fly. If you feel you might be going to be Pi**sing people or wildlife off..you probably are..no question about it. We've learned one thing lately..you don't want to panic the masses. look what a few people did to the worlds supply of toilet paper

Drones are here to stay. I could imagine in the near future, the inception of an active fully operational Drone Law Enforcement Force at the City, State and Federal Government levels. That is all, Carry on.
