This wont look good for the UAS community. I'd hate to be the pilot and mission commander, somebody is in serious trouble. I wonder who's fault it was. |

"We have more than 1.3-million flying hours on unmanned aircraft systems without something like this happening," said Tim Owings of the Army's Unmanned Aircraft Systems.
HA!!! Wrong, pilots in Iraq and Afghanistan have 1.3 million hours dodging these things, ask me how I know. The general public would $h&t a brick if they had any idea how many times that this has almost happened. |

Yeah an army blackhawk in Taji decided to cut across the feild and not radio anybody as we were landing our Scan Eagle and crunched his rotor blade, accident ivestigation found the CW3 pilot at fault but my company still had to fork over 50 grand for a new rebuilt rotor. |
