Indiscriminate use of small UAVs has posed a problem, but now we have a case of a UAV being intentionally used to commit vandalism.
A graffitti lawbreaker has attached a spray-paint can to a DJI Phantom UAV to vandalize a huge billboard in New York City ... thought to be the first time an unmanned aircraft has been used for such a public display of vandalism. Running an airline can be challenging, but now Ryanair confirms an attack on their bank account. It’s reported that a Chinese bank found a way to remove nearly $5 million from an account Ryanair uses to buy fuel for its aircraft. The Boeing B-1B Lancer celebrates its 30th anniversary with the U.S. Air Force which marks one of many milestones in a legacy that will continue long into the future as Boeing’s B-1 team ushers the supersonic bomber into the digital age with new upgrades.
