Aero-News Quote of the Day

“To advocate for people to shoot down any object from U.S. airspace is irresponsible, dangerous and unlawful. Unmanned aerial systems are being designed to serve the public good. The myriad of important uses will be imperiled if they become targets. Meanwhile, the suggestion that Americans take up arms against unmanned aircraft also endangers citizens on the ground." Source: AUVSI President & CEO Michael Toscano, in response to recent depictions in the media that put the unlawful destruction of unmanned aerial systems in a positive light.
