That would be 8, including the two free replacements. I've been flying since June, 2017, when I bought my first drone, the first Mavic. I bought it because I watched a documentary on drones, and it looked pretty interesting. Wonder if I could find that documentary now. If I can, I will post it's name. After watching it, I started watching YouTube videos about drones, and decided on getting a DJI Mavic, which I think came out in fall of 2016. So I've been flying for over 8 years. That's how I've achieved such a high level of proficiency!
Lost another drone

You would think by now you would have learned how to be proficient in not crashing what sounds like every drone you have ever owned. Or at least learned how to read and understand your flight logs to make your crashes make sense to you on your own. Maybe 'proficient' is the wrong word in this instance.
Eight drone losses in eight years is a record as far as I know, and quite a demonstration of something, but perhaps not proficiency.
I'm definitely not careless and stupid about it. I'm probably one of the best drone pilots on this forum.It's pretty clear @jwilson has the financial resources for a drone loss to be nearly disposable, so taking these sorts of risks is no big deal.
I get it. I'm a risk-taker, got the "thrill gene". If I could afford it, I'd be much more agressive with my drones. The Avata was a dream come true, and I'm nearly wetting my undershorts waiting for the Avata 360.
I don't get being stupid and careless about it, though. I don't have that gene
Of course you aren't. It's the drones that are careless and stupid!
Is there someplace we can nominate a thread for being in dire need of being removed forever and ever?
Better yet, is there are Darwin Award category reserved for drone operators?Of course you aren't. It's the drones that are careless and stupid!

Sure ... if there was a category for best at repeatedly losing drones without learning anything from the incidents.
What i said is true, and you don't like it because you are wrong. That's why you want the thread removed. I'm not saying I'm a perfect pilot, but only one of my drone loses was totally my fault as of this time.Of course you aren't. It's the drones that are careless and stupid!

You are entitled to your opinion, no matter how wrong it is. I'm not the one bragging about how great a drone pilot I am after stating I've lost 8 drones. Everyone here sees the contradiction in your statements except you.
Lost 8 drones but 6 of them were not my fault. You can't just take that 8 number without analyzing each loss by itself, and determining if it was pilot error.
The thing that needs to be analyzed is "not my fault."
