"Not sure if this is going to work, looks sort of sketchy, there's that guy on my runway". Does this appear to be a safe and reasonable place to fly? Public beach, members of the public meandering around, right next to a pier full of people, and a busy roadway (that the pilot drove on while playing with his phone).

The pilots name: The troublemaker. LOL. You can't make this stuff up. In the words of many a pilot...perhaps those that Mike continues to call "idiots"....what could possibly go wrong?

I guess my tolerance for risk and potential problems is much lower than his. To each their own. Given the scrutiny this hobby faces now, it doesn't look like a good move. I can only imagine the outrage if that guy was flying a DJI Phantom and it was shot out of the air, rather than his traditional fixed wing aircraft. I can hear the cheers now.
