​aerodrome bordeaux-leognan-saucats.
But he did not take the photo of the dented radome.
Supposedly the pilots of the 'impacted' flight took the photo and identified the object as a drone.
Of course, one cannot exclude he holds a grudge against that airline and made this story up.
On the other hand....
Anyhow, if this story ever turns out to be true, the drone collision is not the worst part of the story.
