Drone at Newark Aitport?

[labrat1957]

Now it's happening over here: https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/22/us/newark-drone-sightings/index.html

Of course this is just one story and there is no positive confirmation one was actually seen but, pilots did report something. Reportedly the thing was seen around 3500-ft! In any event, it's not good for us responsible flyers.

You know, you're right! I'm originally from PA and my relatives there do say some funny stuff. Cracks me up at times. Mom gets perturbed when I correct her grammar!

"Spew my drink" humor is the best kind. Until you have to clean it off a cluttered desk and keyboard. Lol... I was laughing pretty good but then I read the "spew my drink" and I lost it. Good thing I didn't have a mouth full of Dr. Pepper right then... Whew! LOL

Last night I listened to the cockpit recording from the pilot who reported seeing the drone. He stated he was descending @ 250 mph and spotted it at a quarter mile away flying @ 3500 ft. The co-pilot didn't see it.

Me thinks the pilot had something to do or somewhere to go and didn't want to fly the rest of the day. Probably was jealous and went home to fly his LOL

I'm from Delaware. I got so bored not having an accent I started talking like I was from Boston. I realized something... You can say the craziest things with a Boston accent, and people don't even blink.

I'm in Delaware. But I was around a Cottman Avenue family for a period... Got some Dundalk family to... Peoples always asking me's if I knows where they can get a good cheesteak, and I tells em.. You betcha hon! Lol

Hard to believe that a commercial bought UAV can reach 3500 AGL , large enough to be seen at 250 mph, enough battery left to return home and fight turbulence . SHOW ME THE BEEF EVIDENCE UNTIL ITS JUST A CONSPIRACY

I think when it all boils down to it, they are going to believe the commercial pilot's word over trying to prove any evidence most likely.

I was thinking along the lines of what dondi said with the performance of the said drone.

I can definitely see that something needs to be done to control the drone flights near airports. I'm a sport aviator myself and it is very much a safety concern. But it's like everything else. The criminal won't ever be legal in the beginning so new laws or banning drones all together will not stop it.

WE CAN VOICE OUR OPINIONS AND ASK FOR EVIDENCE THAT CONFIRMS IT WASN'T A DRONE

We could always ban planes and go back to the good ol times of the shipping era.
