201er Posted Wednesday at 11:26 PM Report Posted Wednesday at 11:26 PM A whole lot of drone TFRs just sprung up! Are Iranian, Chinese, and US govt drones exempt?? Previously spotting zones or bullseyes to important infrastructure? 1 Quote
dkkim73 Posted Friday at 03:19 AM Report Posted Friday at 03:19 AM That's crazy. Does anyone closer to that area have any insights? National coverage not very helpful. Quote
Andy95W Posted Friday at 03:30 AM Report Posted Friday at 03:30 AM The “National Coverage” was simply because it was a slow news week and the 24 hour news outlets had to find something to fill the time (otherwise they couldn’t sell advertising.). Now with other stories to report on and cloudy skies, this is going to go away. It’ll be interesting to see what remains after the stories are gone. 2 Quote

National coverage not very helpful. So there are always going to be exceptions, like the guy from China and the idiots flying their drone off an island in the Boston harbor IN the KBOS airspace. But otherwise I still contend originally it was just some people flying their drones legally and a LOT of miss identification of helicopters and planes. But then, it became a thing, so everyone with a drone was joining in and flying at night. So now you have all these people all over the place flying their drones and a lot of them were by the power stations, which we can see are everywhere. So good opportunity for someone that does want to do harm to just mix in with the crowd. So the smart thing to do is to re-enforce that no drones are allowed in these area. It could turn out to be a real thing and they just were not telling us. But the most obvious reason is usually THE reason. Edited Friday at 07:23 AM by PeteMc 1 Quote
