[yetti]

UAS, not talking to ATC, flying low, recording video

looks like he made right turns in the pattern and landed on the mains though.

 

[EppyGA]

Head on a swivel watching for traffic.

 

[Captain]

That pilot is above FAA enforcement action. He clears himself to land and takes off when he pleases.

 

[upstateny]

Commercial ops by a non-certified pilot. FAA will be grounding him soon.

 

[MickYoumans]

I seriously doubt he filed a flight plan either.

 

[Matthew]

Looked like a natural stick to me.

 

[nddons]

That was great.

 

[NoHeat]

He should be glad for the TFR. No possibility of a plane strike.

 

[Archammer]

Awesome!

 

[Buggsy2]

Yeah looks like this was a fly-for-hire UAV for sure, didya see the treat he got? Busted! I expect the FAA to clip his wings shortly.

UAS denotes "unmanned", but there was a live pilot on board, just not "human".

 

[Gary F]

We have had one of those for a while. War Eagle!

Prior to becoming a pilot, I had hoped to master the art of falconry. Private Pilot and Instrument Rating were much easier... I just do it myself.

I believe "unmanned" is considered insufficiently politically sensitive. The preferred term is "uninhabited". Still slightly off the mark in this case.

 

[Pedals2Paddles]

That's awesome

 

[Capt. Geoffrey Thorpe]

No banner, no problem.

 

[JeffDG]

No banner, no problem.

Insufficient evidence to establish the lack of a banner.

Oh. So it's Chuck Norris?

 

[Matthew]

You know what would be really cool? A little tiny monkey with a leather helmet, goggles, and a long scarf riding on top.

Why can't they just fly themselves?

Nice video! Now the Golden Eagle alternated games with a Bald Eagle.

War Eagle!!

 

[Unit74]

Every bird strike he makes is intentional! But seems like a real jerk in the pattern. Never heard one call on the radio....can't stand NORDO Cowboys.
