So I filed a complaint with the FAA.
Yesturday, a plane flew dangerously close to my Quad. Damn near blew me out of the sky.
Just once I would like to see a picture of one of these so called close calls that seem to be reported every week now.
Being a pilot, I find it hard to believe there have been that many sightings of drones coming close to a plane landing or taking off at 150+ MPH.
They must have a lot better eye sight than I have.
I've seen birds that have come very close to hitting me, and my first reaction is... "What the hell was that?"
From now on, it will be...." damn... another drone"

I tend to agree that the pilots are not playing by all the rules too.  I live in Long Beach, California and there are alway small private planes buzzing the beach under 400 feet.  News helicopters love the area for sunrise and sunset pictures too.

You need to bring your bird down fast.  That is your options?
