Airplane and helicopter pilots are being beset by drones, and the Federal Aviation Administration wants them to buzz off.
Pilots' reports of unmanned aircraft this year
have already more than doubled all of the reports filed last year, the
FAA said Wednesday — from 238 in all of 2014 to more than 650 from Jan. 1
to Sunday, Aug. 9.
Even worse, firefighters in the West have had to
ground their operations several times because unmanned aircraft flew
too near them.
