A delta airlines was in the pattern at 2,500 ,i assume on it downwind leg , when either the airliner passed or the drone flew past the cockpit. The state police showed up at the local hobby shops looking for the owner . This is mostly why we have the law breathing down our necks. I thought that AMA should have pushed for an agreement with FAA to have it unlawful to fly any R/C aircraft outside a AMA chartered club. Instead everyone gets thrown in the same basket as far as regulation goes.
