A near miss? The drone was reported to be a 1000' and 3 to 4 miles from the airport.
I think it is a Near Miss because the they said it was 200 ft. below the airliner. How close are they supposed to get for a real near miss?
In my opinion, that drone should have not been anywhere near the flight path of the airliner. Nowhere in sight. Here we go again.
