Drone flying hits the UK news

Post by Tony »

Heard on the news today that a drone got within 20 feet from a passenger airplane at a UK airport today, what a total idiot... Can you imagine that getting in a jet turbine.... Things are getting bad with drones these days and some idiots that fly them, spoil it for the sensible flyers...

The world is full of idiots trying to spoil our fun.
Perhaps airport security staff need to be armed with shotguns and given permission to knock them down if they see them.
Or maybe net guns.
Then when someone comes in to claim their machine bam, you're busted.
