The military doesn't like airspace violations much...
Doesn't really matter which country.
It happened to a friend (with a pilot license I precise).
He was flying a small two seat aircraft and got contacted through the radio and for asked if he was ok to do a exercice with military aircraft.
He agreed so soon after two fighter jet arrived on his left and right. To be able to fly at the same speed as him they were almost standing vertically. They directed him for a bit without any radio contact, then thanked him through the radio and left.
They were doing a exercise to direct someone with no radio contact.
I'm reminded of Mathias Rust. The guy is very lucky he wasn't shot down.
Holy shit. Yeah, he's incredibly lucky to not be a pink mist. Still did 14months of a 4 year sentence in a labour camp though.
You ever see those “Speed limit enforced by aircraft” signs? That’s the guy you gotta worry about.
I never actually understood those. Do they actually have, like… a drone? Is it snapping a photo? How’s it all work?
So you'll occasionally see two white lines perpendicular to the road at a set internal. A helicopter, drone, or plane can time when a car passes both of these lines and can calculate the average speed of the car.
This info is then relayed to a police car on the ground who then pulls over the driver.
I drive through areas like this all the time for years. I have never heard of anyone actually getting a ticket from this.
what are they going to do pull you over
Yes. With missiles.
in reality I think ATC will just wait 2 hours for you to run out of fuel and notify the local police for wherever you land
if you're headed towards the pentagon though they'll probably shoot you down
Me when I launch my paddleboard without my permit. Who's gonna stop me? The water cops? (Yes, yes they will 😞)
Where do you live that you need a permit to paddleboard?
I don't know where op is from but a lot of states, especially in the western US require invasive species tags on any craft over a certain length, like 10 ft. Some also require state registration decals. Idaho is an example of one that takes the invasive species decals and water craft checkpoints very seriously.
yep. got a warning once for not having purchased a permit on my paddle board.
That thing is not gonna fly forever!
Not with that mindset
That's why I drink and fly. Who's ever heard of a FUI?
It's called a crash and burn
The first hint that something was amiss early Wednesday at the Westchester County Airport was the erratic motion of the low-flying Cessna. Confirmation came moments later when security workers approached the aircraft and beer cans fell out of the cabin as the pilot opened the door.
I mean, it's legal under faa part 103...
You aren't even allowed to fly a drone over 250g without a license in Germany, what the heck are you doing in America lol

All fun and games until tower gives you a number to call.
They'll shootcha down.
There is a city in the sky apparently.
