These guys were clearing in the wrong from what little reporting we have so far so it will be interesting to see what the state charges end up being and the penalties.....before the FAA gets involved. As usual will wait for the details and so far so good....I just don't like the way news reported it and I especially don't like the way LEO said don't fly anywhere near an airport. Which is why we keep hearing about the 5 mile rule repeated even though it is yesterday's news. I fly near an airport with LAANC all the time, it's not the end of the world. Granted, I've never flow onto airport property but let's see what these guys have to say when they get out of jail and face a judge. I dunno, maybe the one guy is spying....interesting comments on that videos.
