What a loss. That's the genuine article right there.
I remember standing on the ramp at CCR, Ray had styrofoam cup of coffee in one hand, cigarette in the other.
We watched a CFI and student, both female, walk out to a 300CB; preflight, start-up, and hover taxi out. After they departed, he turned to me and asked "Do you know what FAR they just violated?"
I (a freshly minted CFI) stammered for an answer, rewinding the last few minutes in my mind, looking for the tiniest infraction. Wondering what his keen eyes had detected. I was stumped, and admitted it.
By the look he gave me, I could tell I had missed something obvious.
He took a drag off his cigarette, looked at me and said,
"It's prohibited to operate unmanned aircraft in controlled airspace".
RIP Mr. Murphy
