Hey guys,

In case anyone missed this recent news article.  A man was fined $20,000.00 (USD) for flying his Phantom 3 in the Las Vegas area after he lost communication with the drone and it landed at the nearby McCarran International Airport.  In case anyone else is thinking of doing this....please don't.

Thanks for the heads up.  Good to get the word out so people think twice before flying their drones in restricted airspace.

Hello and good day Ron. Thank you for reaching out and for sharing  this video with us today. This is a sad event for all of us drone enthusiast.  We should always educate everyone specially ourselves to be responsible drone pilots. We should not put our self interest over the safety of people around us when operating or flying our drones. Let us all follow the rules and regulations at all time when operating or flying our drones. Thank you.

Agreed!  I'm sure lots of new drone fliers are showing up on the forums daily so hopefully this will give them some additional insight and hopefully prevent this type of thing from happening in the future.

Again thank you Ron for always helping and contributing your knowledge and insights here at DJI Forum. In addition, we should all keep educating every one with the do and don't in flying and operating drones and to follow all the rules and regulations for our hobby to expand more. Have a safe and a happy flying to all. Thank you.
