Catch em, hang em, revive em and then shoot em. The idiots have caused grief here with forest fires and grounding water bombers

Reading the better news reports, its evident that this is not some dick flying his early Xmas present, but that this is a commercial grade drone being flown to deliberately disrupt operations and being done rather well. Pointless for people to start bellowing about increasing 'no fly' zones or implementing more restrictions on drone operations.

There is more to this than is being reported, drones have been reported near airports for years, this is different.

Yup, it's why men have more brains than women - They've got no dick to put them in.

During the early days of the Carr fire, they were desperately trying to provide water coverage to some firemen and cat operators that were under threat of being burned over and some asshat had a drone in the area.

One of the fire helos (an S-64) spotted it and downed it with it's water load - problem solved.

Looking at news reports it is by no means certain that they have the right people. The bloke's boss says he was at work!

We'll see I suppose, but it wouldn't be the first time Old Bill arrested the first likely suspect(s) (drone flyer in this case) in the face of so much public pressure.

I thought it was very quick as well Steve. I did a very quick Google and the maximum range of one industrial drone was 4km, a fairly large area to be searching for a smallish object.

I honestly feel that this is not going to be a one-time thing.

Civil Drones have a great deal of capability beyond their original purpose (Ukraine Ammo dump incident comes to mind), even if it's intentionally disrupting infrastructure.

DJI has a geofencing system that will not only prevent you from flying into certain airspace, but will also track drone telemetry. It's effective in identifying the drone and it's owner but like anything else there is software that can defeat it. Additionally DJI has errors in their system that sometimes locks out operations in areas that are actually legal to fly in.

I worked for 3 months where the people arrested live, what an odd town, full of weirdos.
