Reckless endangerment!
I saw this today and I can’t work out if it’s faked or not (would anyone really be this stupid)?

Of course they would with very little effort

I agree with most of the comments on that post, the footage was shit…
A lot of the comments seem to give the indifferent quality of the vid as much importance as the pilot’s behaviour; I’d don’t get the impression that this is entirely tongue-in-cheek, which is perhaps what one would expect from a certain type of American.
This is in line with the sort of person that would post incontravertable evidence of his/her illegal activity online; pretty stupid thing to do and just as stupid to publicly boast about it! Not that us brits can claim any moral high ground; seen a report today which seems to feature a drone flown (by a kid accompanied by 2 ‘adults’) directly and apparently deliberately into a head-on collision with a glider that was in the process of landing, somewhere near Dunstable.
One might argue that the child was not in proper control of the drone, in which case the adults, I’m not calling them grown-ups, should have taken over to ensure that the drone was nowhere near any other aircraft. It was apparently being flown from a ridge overlooking the glider field so they’d have had a clear view of proceedings. Footage from the drone shows the full incident.

Fake I’d say. Once the jets had flown past the drone, there’s no turbulence noted on screen. I’d have thought the drone would have been blown about in the wake of those aircraft ?

I mean depends on his height above said aircrafts. I mean its poor footage but also he may have had permissions to do so.
What JockyB says, there is no movement on the drone at all when they past under.
Unless they was electric planes
