One Drone Missing; Reward Offered. Please Contact FBI
Yesterday we noted the somewhat startling confession of @NYCAviation investigating a four-engined small aircraft (or drone) at JFK. Today we get the confirmation as the FBI "seeks public assistance in identifying, locating, unmanned aircraft and operator."
Perhaps this?
Via FBI,
On Monday, March, 4, 2013, at approximately 1:15 p.m., the pilot of Alitalia Flight #608 spotted a small, unmanned aircraft while on approach to John F. Kennedy International Airport. The Alitalia flight was roughly three miles from runway 31R when the incident occurred at an altitude of approximately 1,750 feet. The unmanned aircraft came within 200 feet of the Alitalia plane.
The FBI is investigating the incident and looking to identify and locate the aircraft and its operator. The unnamed aircraft was described as black in color and no more than three feet wide with four propellers.
“The FBI is asking anyone with information about the unmanned aircraft or the operator to contact us,” said Special Agent in Charge John Giacalone. “Our paramount concern is the safety of aircraft passengers and crew.”
Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at 212-384-1000. Tipsters may remain anonymous.

Look next for the 'Assault RC' ban at a congressional meeting near you.
One of Berstinky's helicopters maybe?
I saw NATING........hahaha
Fark you FBI.
Whoever designed it is a faggot! It looks like a lawn mower...
As opposed to the giant flying dildo like devices used by the CIA? Dropping their load on every country on the planet that is populated with brown people.
I think you're talking about Big Sis's devices.
Those don't have cutting edges.
The drone shown has on the indoor hull which allows for touching the walls without busting up the props. Without the indoor hull on, it looks kind of like a giant ladybug.
And much harder to spot outdoors.
Yup, nothing says flaming homosexual like a lawnmower.
You ain't seen nuthin' yet.... In The Dictator's army, there are over 60 million drones.
again...
FBI = fucking brainless idiots
yeah all this hulabaloo over a missing toy copter, but no one blinked an eye years back during W when a USAF plane took off with live nuclear payload, flew OVER continental US, then landed again, somehow missing a nuclear warhead. nothing to see here, move along.....
Try looking at the fbi drone storage bin.
I saw a bald gray-haired guy with a beard flying a drone like that the other day. He was using it to drop $100 bills. Weird.
Maybe its out looking for a date at JFK.
I thought it was just kids having fun at first but it seems that it's of military or intelligence origin.Unless of course we have a really smart engineering/computer science geek- student deciding to get braver with testing out his/hers new invention,in order to make money?The idea actually came from the U.S drone program,now everybody wants one(please include Iran).China pumping out this drone stuff by the millions,can you imagine every shape and form of these things.They're like toys,and yes, as good Chinese Communists take gold,diamonds,raw materials,just about any commodity, in exchange for a drone,they'll most likely sell you one.
drone surveilling drone
the government hates competition
Just wait for the moron to post his video on YouTube & put a trace on the IP. Easy squeasy lemon peasy.

Anybody thought that Al-Quaeda might grab a dozen of these, strap C4 to them and fly them into the flight path of these planes with a RC detonator?
Oops. Did I say that outloud?
Who needs Hi-Tech missles?
Somebodies at my door… It looks like HLS…
Gotta go!

Hey....I seen that thing!!!! And without a scratch. There was a bunch of dudes all dressed up like in the movie V For Vendetta wearing their Guy Fawkes masks dancing around the thing doing some kind of.....cleansing ritual undoubtedly, down over by Tony's Pizza Shop in the Bronx. I almost forgot to mention the well dressed and monied up? Arabic looking dudes driving the marked import-export shipping business vans they were chatting with as well. It was an inside job.....
I liked the idea of someone flying one or a pair of them around the jpm stash house in london
Spraying Polonium 208 hydride the entire time.
Not one but 2 planes now. National emergency will be announced later and martial law put into effect all in the name of National Security and keeping the children safe from terrorism.

Only one problem they are reporting seeing the drone at 1500 - 1750 feet in the air. That is a bit beyond the 165 foot range for the drone in the picture and being reported as being a possible offender.

A small charter aircraft taxiing to depart at JFK International Airport received damage after hitting ground lights on Thursday evening, according to information received by NYCAviation.
While taxiing across the active Runway 31R on taxiway Echo, the Swearingen SA226-AT Merlin IV’s propellers struck runway edge lighting. The incident led to partial loss of the propeller blades, and as one might, expect, some flying blade fragments wound up creating some small dents on the aircraft’s fuselage. The runway was closed for two hours as a result.
The pilot is reported to have been operating his cell phone at the same time, leading to a loss of situational awareness. The FAA is investigating the incident.
Dear Feebs, please ask Carnivore.

I thought it was a clay pigeon, sir...
