POTUS visit… 9th -10th July
@uav_hampshire
Am I the only person who saw a cock and balls on that notam for POTUS
I’m so glad you said that. I had to send that to image to a friend of mine as I could t believe it haha. Surly someone had to sign off on that design…
I put the Mini 2 up before restriction came in and also flew round the Green after restrictions lifted.
I’m heading to North Berwick tomorrow to watch the Scottish Open golf. I see a no fly zone is in place.
That would have been an even better shot if she’d actually been trying to hit it
Better hitting the drone rather than a person. Playing golf a few years ago, a young lad came up to me asking how to get off the golf course. Looked at him and realised he’d been hit in the mouth by someone’s wayward drive. Blood all over and he’d obviously lost several teeth. Offered to take him to the clubhouse so someone could have a look, but he refused. ( thinking he was in trouble for being on the golf course in the first instance )
Probably Francis Bourgeois!
I was just watching his videos too jahaha
The radius for the upcoming Fastnet Race drone coverage route in the Solent is a tad OTT!
One radius stretches nearly a mile into the mainland!
It’s a giant boot heel forever crushing the Stockbrokers of Surrey.
I suspect a lot of that in that its easier to issue a NOTAM for a certain radius from a centre location than it is to actually bother giving coordinates for a bounding box.
They aren’t NOTAMs, they are drone operator flight plans.
But your reasoning for their size was also what i concluded.
Strange there was absolutely nothing for the Round the Island Race, a couple of weeks ago.
Might be something as simple as a different company contracted and different procedures.
More of a statistical expectation that with well over 1,000 Round the Island entries, and the course being close to shore at all times, that there wasn’t at least 1 flight report by anyone, private or professional logged for the whole day of the race at any point along its course.
This is a notice for a non NOTAM that I’m really surprised about?
Rewind Festival starts tomorrow in Perth at Scone Palace. For those of you that don’t know, Scone Palace used to be the crowning place of Scottish Kings and Queens before Edward 1st came up here in 1296 and stole the Stone of Destiny from us. It’s now home to the Earl of Mansfield and very surprisingly the event this weekend has no NOTAM. Plus it’s just outside the FRZ for Scone Airport (otherwise known as Perth Airport, even though it’s in Scone, and not Perth) So unless any of you guys can see a reason for me to not fly, I might just get the batteries charged!!!
Looking forward to seeing some pics Darren
