Shotguns and Drones:
A happy story of flying a Mavic 3 CINE on the Turkish coast of the Aegean Sea. Drones are allowed in Turkey with the provisions of weight, speed, and altitude limitations. While doing an aerial of our Gulet 23m sailing boat, and on final return, I heard a bang, bang bang. I switched to sport and hit the sticks. I was able to land without incident to find that the props and body took significant pellets from the 12 gage of a boat anchored 50m from mine. An hour later, the Turkish Coast Guard boarded said ship, did a full search, then interviewed an adjoining ship, then ours. The Guard was visibly shaken at the incident and took my report and offered condolences. The next morning they returned and placed the shooter under arrest and commandeered the vessel. Naval Law prohibits the discharge of a firearm from a naval vessel. Yeah!
