Here’s an important question. How many of you have quietly stowed your drone in your domestic flight checked-in luggage? If you are thinking of or have done it before – DON’T do it again. You and your fellow passengers and crew’s safety is potentially at risk. NZ’s two major carriers, Air New Zealand and Jetstar, […] Read more >
via GIPHY A complete and utter idiot shows how to fly his drone like a complete and utter idiot. This sort of stupidity is beyond any form of joke or humour.
