Why don't you one-dot-high-shock-horror people just turn off the ILS, then fly a bit high on the PAPI. What's the drama?

Heliphile, where does this drones stuff end though? They might be small now, but they are much harder than your average bird (it seems you were in a chopper..skids??... bit different to one of these things being sucked into a spooled up jet engine) and will become bigger. They might also be "incredibly rare" now, but in a fews year's time, they'll be everywhere.

As for the one hovering by the cop's window, I would have opened it and shot the thing down. Rampant technology being used by inconsiderate @#$%%^ who don't have any morals...
