Or was it the authorities over reacting because of a 5 minute flight with a small drone?
We fly around often with only half to one mile viz....the problem is that once a drone is spotted, we cannot guarantee it is on the ground until the owner is located. It would be a brave person to tell us to go fly again without confirming the status of the drone. Just like wires....it is not the one you see thaat gets you---it will be the one you don't.
