This is the result when a quadcopter strikes the wing of an aircraft

While goose hunting last year, we were continuosly buzzed by a drone. We were on the perimeter fence to the local airport and the drone was definitley entering the airport airspace. When the opportunity presented itself, we blew it out of the air. Talked to the airport manager about this and he thanked us. Apparently some asshole kept flying it into the tarmac area and twice they had to call off approaching aircraft.
Thank You! From a pilot.
In doing so, you broke the law, and just admitted to that fact.
All I can say is "It sucks to be the owner of that (ex-) drone"!
Only because he was not military or police. Otherwise, actions taken to ensure the safety of life are permitted. If the drone was being operated as a hazard to aircraft, defensive measures to remove the hazard would be appropriate.
Wow, someone removed a bunch of posts and replies.
