wow, a lot of talk for what might be a bird
(or might be a government/'public' drone)
(or might be a Model)
from the link in OP-
The corporate jet, a Cessna Citation 525 CJ1, was flying at 8,000 feet above sea level over Cherry Creek when the mystery object came close enough to make any pilot nervous.
''That's an issue because now we have something in controlled airspace that poses a danger,'' Former NTSB Investigator and 9NEWS Aviation Analyst Greg Feith said.
Feith listened to the air traffic recordings and believes the object could be one of three things:
- A military or law enforcement drone.
- A remote controlled aircraft.
- A large bird.
''Was this an unmanned vehicle that was part of some sort of law enforcement operation? Was this somebody that had flown a large model aircraft inadvertently into the airspace? Or was it just [a bird that] caught the pilot's eye so he believed it was an aircraft but could have been a very large wing span bird,'' Feith said.
Its just gonna be more regs coming from the Feathered Airusers Administration (under EPA:Fish&Game)
so them jets better get their act together and stop harassing them birds
or the EPA will lock them jet pilots up for flying within... uh....
close enough to make any bird nervous
pffft, stupid birds
It's renegade birds like this that give the honest folk in the AMA a bad name! Its actions have put the entire hobby in danger...
