Summary

A drone collision grounded one of two Super Scooper planes battling Los Angeles wildfires, leaving a critical resource unavailable.

The collision damaged the aircraft’s wing, forcing its grounding, and temporarily paused other firefighting flights, creating significant delays.

The FAA emphasized the dangers of flying drones near wildfires, noting it’s a federal crime with penalties up to $75,000 and prison time.

Over 36,000 acres have burned, with officials warning that delays in air support allow wildfires to spread rapidly, endangering lives and property.

    What if your self police don’t have the most up to date news that would’ve been enforced via the transmitter?

    If you knew what you were doing you’d stfu. Idiots copy people and don’t know what they’re doing. All your post seems to say is you’re a braggart and probably part of the problem.
