    Default First Drone I've Seen

    A drone few directly over my house today at 7:22 PM. I watched it as it turned north to land at Centennial Airport. They are a lot louder than I thought and have a very unique sound.

    Really? I work close to there what time did you see it at? I want to go see one out of curiosity.

    Gonna call BS on that one... Buckley would have been more plausible, but Centennial, doubt it.

    I frequent the Perfect Landing restaurant at Centennial quite a bit. I see military aircraft there a lot.

    I'm not supprised, Front Range Airport held a meeting for the "resident pilots" of the airport and had a presentation of an outfit wanting to fly drones out of Front Range. They were met with a lot of oppsition from the pilots because those damn ulta light and alike are hard enough to see/miss now they want to introduce drones in and out of the airspace. The last word was they were flying out of a college campus somewhere (I wished I had taken notes).
