Civilian drone crashes into a Blackhawk!

Recommended Posts

It was nearly Black Hawk down over Staten Island — when an Army chopper was struck by an illegally flying drone over a residential neighborhood, authorities said Friday.

The UA60 helicopter was flying 500 feet over Midland Beach alongside another Black Hawk, when the drone struck the chopper at around 8:15 p.m. Thursday, causing damage to its rotor blades

Wow. Here I am thinking about buying a drone to survey my property and it appears these things just might be outlawed.
