I'm guessing the drone operator wanted content for his social media.

[TalBlack]

I’d guessed that there was a good chance this would happen.

[hinckley buzzard]

Yeah, some dog crap instagram liberal.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

That ass needs an ass kicking to within an inch of his life.

[citizen]

I hope they can determies and prosecute the infractor.

But, yeah, it’s Kalifornia, so...

*determine

[rottweiller_inc]

I would have guessed a news station looking for a scoop

[blueplum]

they’ll need to fly in a repair crew from Canada, I suppose.

I hope they catch the guy and fine him the $75K penalty plus jail time. What idiot flys a drone when a disaster is in progress when the news choppers’ videos are so much better than any drone footage one could capture

Big enough to hole an aircraft is supposed to be big enough to require a transponder.
Oh wait, that would be some sort of enforcing the law, never-mind!

Typical dumbass trying to get likes on social media, bye bye drone. Say hello to your cell.

1600 gallons is a cube of roughly 6x6x6. Better than nothing, but not exactly the inundation that got Noah all worked up.

In WWII that plane would have been patched up and flying already. Just sayin’.

[Angelino97]

In WWII, planes coming back with holes was likely a daily occurrence. They had teams trained and prepared for patchwork.

Today, a hole in a plane happens far less often. So the infrastructure is not there to immediately patch it.

If they find the operator of the drone, he /she/it should be flown over the fire and dropped on it.

Canadair aircraft have a reputation of resilience. Here'sthe solution:

Excuse me. The infrastructure is there - especially in the Los Angeles area.

But also there, now, is the DEI “infrastructure” designed to utterly wreck the determination of the kind that people had during, and the two decades after, World War II.

The amazing World War II excellent determination to get the aircraft airworthy and capable of surviving the next fight - all the work done within the next 48 - 72 hours.

The kind of work that did not pin “participation medals” on peoples’ chests, for their always reminding everybody that “they” and “them” (the couple, according to Chief Justice Roberts) succeeded in having one of 57 “genders” worth of diversity while in the combat theatre.

Actually real high-speed aluminum foil tape might work. As opposed to duck tape.

First the lesbians have to determine who is the next lesbian to get a participation trophy and a $400,000+ to $500,000+ salary.

[wally_bert]

If it’s a protected special person, nothing will happen.

Lots of them around.

“Excuse me. The infrastructure is there - especially in the Los Angeles area. But also there, now, is the DEI “infrastructure””

GREAT POINT - The question likely is whether they can find a Lesbian qualified to repair airframes. Certainly none in the LA Fire Department as their Lesbians are all in the top-paying jobs.
