Drone pilot going to jail

[wco81]

More important than the 2 weeks of jail time, the pilot will pay about $156k in restitution and fines.

The guy is apparently rich, supposedly was involved in the creation of Call of Duty game.

He flew a Mini 3 and it caused wing damage and the "super scooper" plane is still out of commission.

Not still out of commission. C-GQBE was flown as recently as Wednesday.

The one thing this all highlights though is the sub 249g drones are not any more safer than the ones a little larger than that. Part of the whole arrangement about small drones like that was about how safe they would be even if in an accident.
