IDK if its related but Bethpage, Long Island was where the E-2C was designed and built for a long time before it moved to Florida.

Baconroll posted:In further Gatwick drone news the police have now arrested 2 people. The Army may have taken down a drone but the news is really vague on the specifics. quote:In January I expect we'll see new legislation rushed through Parliament for all sorts of controls on drone - which criminals will of course ignore. It will be interesting to find out what the story is with this though, everything about it so far is just bizarre. God, watch it be something like some off the wall plan for the accused to keep their kids home for Christmas or something. slidebite fucked around with this message at 16:04 on Dec 22, 2018 |

I mean, as holiday problems go "they shut down the airport with drones" is better than "ex special forces tried to crash an airliner so they could break a drug lord free and John McCains ex is there too somehow".

slidebite posted:Only thing against this were reports of a "commercial" type drone, although its not like the news outlets wouldn't know the difference between a $1500 and a $50 drone. DJIs are basically commercial type drones at this point because of how prevalent they are with drone startups for surveying and photography if you don't want to develop some inhouse bullshit

There were some videos floating around of people purporting to show a drone over the gatwick terminal. Might have been a photoshop or joke though I guess?

shame on an IGA posted:The vast majority of noise complaints at every airport are from the same one or two insane busybodies who call dozens of times every day The airfield for my gliding club has couple known complainers, one of them complaining also other matters like racing events. I think one failed official complaint cost him 500€, another one 1500€. We assumed he would stop doing it with such track record, but no. The club president was meeting with some county officials and this person came up in the talks. One official remarked that has complaining as a hobby. And as with all hobbies, it is allowed to cost money.
