Apologies for the thread drift. A casual observation would suggest you're too smart to be a professional pilot with those interests! Does a UAV operator regard themselves as a pilot and with that all the inherent considerations that go with operating machinery outside the boundaries of 'normal' human physiological circumstances. I wonder if the psychological differences between UAV operators and pilots create differences of opinion about what is acceptable and what is not when it comes to the conduct of aviation in its different forms.
