A video posted to Facebook a few days ago has been receiving a great deal of attention from, first, the Drone community, and now, the rest of the world. If it is as it appears, someone has done something stupid and dangerous and counterproductive to the interests of the unmanned aircraft communities--much less aviation safety, in general. A person, as yet not officially identified, posted what was claimed to be an FPV or ‘First Person View’ drone racer flying in the approach path to Las Vegas’ McCarran International Airport.

Defending World Champion Yoshihide “Yoshi” Muroya was a close second, with the Czech Republic’s Martin Šonka in third. Bombardier Business Aircraft has announced that “The Masterpiece,” the fifth and final test vehicle in the Global 7000 flight test program, successfully completed its first flight, a few days ago, setting the stage for the program’s entry-into-service in the second half of this year.
