I have no idea where you got your "10 knot crosswind" thing, but here's a drone from DJI that has a top speed of 45 mph and a 30 minute endurance.
It’s “git”, and “licen”. It’s only “license” if it’s plural, as in “I’ll need to see you boys’ license”.
Get them Duck Dynasty guys down there.
Can you imagine pickups lined as far as you could see, grills smoking, bunch of folks just waiting for the next drone to come flying by.
Good times my friends, good times.
Betcha it’d cut down on illegals crossing as well.
Govt could put a bounty on them, get a drone- get a box of shells.
Try holding a course with 5 pounds of thrust and a crosswind? It’s one thing to stay in the air. It’s a whole other to not end up where the wind takes you. The higher up you go the more the winds aloft push you.
That is why I cited BIDEN (just shoot your shotgun) and JF’nKerry (the pic of him ‘supposedly’ shooting skeet).
They are probably the LAST TWO you would want anywhere near a loaded weapon.....
Seems like a great opportunity for target practice.
Drones can go as fast as 125mph and fly as high as 10000ft. Shotguns will be ineffective, and those are just commercially available hobby platforms, it could get a lot worse if some smart dedicated enthusiasts got involved. Did you ever see the story of the guy that made a jet powered pre-programmed “cruise missile” (it was shaped like a cruise missile, but wasn’t in fact a missile at all, just a, autonomous jet aircraft). We need to think ahead to plan for these attacks, and shotguns aren’t going to do it.
And pay for the opportunity....adding to the Wall funding....maybe Trump can set it up and also have a driving range which gets one a dinner with Trump (and Melania) if one knocks a drone out with a golf ball....
One would think border patrol could install stations along the border that would send signals out that would jam the RC channels being used by the cartels......
LOL You forgot that phoney picture of Obama supposedly shooting.Biden, Kerry and Obama the Three Ratkateers.
Actually ALL of them - on both sides - do so many idiotic things, it is hard to keep track of them...<: <: <:
Should run ‘highlight’ reels...
