If I may add, I was driving the outrage bus concerned that a drone had been is collision with an aircraft in the proximity of an airport . Such actions destroy the drone industry/hobby for all forcing draconian legalisation on all.
i have been flying RC models heli's etc since the late 90's and yes the old school approach really does factor is safety. I cringe watching some footage of drones flying over busy roads motorways etc with no regard to a failure.
I also charter full size heli's etc it just depends on the job. A particular requirement may be a mix of both.
The story on the collision seems to have gone quiet with some forums suggesting it was a work of fiction. If anyone on this forum knows what really happen please enlighten me.
Otherwise stories of commercial pilots 'crying wolf' does not help the issue.
