Non-pilots have absolutely no idea of the kinds of hazards they can cause to #firefighting aircraft with their #drones. As a helicopter pilot, I know that a drone strike to my tail rotor would take me out out of the sky and likely kill me. Drones can also hit (and break) aircraft windshields or get sucked into turbine intake ports.
It is against the law to fly a drone in a no fly zone for a reason. Don't be a selfish asshole! nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqpxd6nxmn0mf90yna6uq6lesrf76afqqfd84xwe72uq63j48venmqzy2enj (nprofile…2enj) https://bird.makeup/users/wadnr/statuses/2084449270636446049
