Steam & Excursion > Drone wars

I got a kick out of the two drones I captured in this picture.

Got a .410 and some birdshot?

Safer than the aircraft and helos that buzzed theeastbound New Orleans Daylight at the Tehachapi Loop back in the 80s... Scary!!

Just to be clear, I have no particular problem with drones, they can be cloned out very easily.  It's like still photogs versus video guys in the old days, the conflicts get worked out with a little good will on both sides.

Those drones should have flown into the smoke to get a real feel of heat; just not down the stack as I hate the smell of burnt plastic!😳

I’ll take a drone overhead before some video guy in a photo line yelling for everyone to be quiet only to hear the constant click of a 1000 frames from everyone’s cameras.

Drones can be used in a respectful manner but like everything else can used in disrespectful and illegal ways.

Guns can be used in a respectful manner but like everything else can be used in disrespectful and illegal ways.

2 wrongs do not make a right.

Shooting at an aircraft, manned or unmanned, is a federal offense.

I will take the whirling noise of a drone any day, over a noisy hovering helicopter 

Helicopters, drones, and swooping planes are all incredibly rude in large crowds. No manners anymore.

For my money a few drones here and there are way better than a Bell 206. 

Have fun, be safe,

That helicopter ruined things for thousands of people, both general public and rail enthusiasts.....................between Ogden and Evanston.

Yes, and worried the hell out of me while flying  my drone.    Had to keep an eye out for it and watch the train.

A Leroy, WY, I found my self in the midst of 4 other drones.  In a relatively small area, there were 4 Mavics and a Phantom.  No problems.  No one around to complain, because we were shooting a freight.
