Aircraft are prohibited from flying at less than 1000’ over conjested areas, 500’ over sparsely populated by FAA regulations. Drones may not fly over 500’ by FAA regulations.

There must be exceptions for working aircraft... like crop dusters and when the helicopters dangle workers for tower work or equipment lifts...

Blue Angels’ low-altitude ambush left San Francisco fuming in 1983

The Blue Angels will always be a simmering debate in San Francisco.

Still remember the day the Blue Angles in town and a pilot decided to roar up San Francisco Market St below the height of some of the tallest buildings...

Years later the pilot interviewed and said no regrets.

Gone are the days looping the Golden Gate and the East Bay turn back to the city...

Nothing like being a kid at eye level with the pilots and one of the pilots giving a wave back...

Federal Regulations Applicable to Crop Dusting Activities

Crop dusting is an important practice in many regions of the country. While it does pose certain liability risks (spray drift and accidents just to name a couple), it is an economical way to apply chemicals to relatively larger fields. Also, the federal government may have jurisdiction over crop...

Speaking of drones a few weeks ago working in our yard I thought I heard a swarm of bees, looked up & a drone hovering 10 feet above me! Then it quickly sped off.
#%$&^#!!!!!
Isn't that an invasion of privacy? What if I had whacked it with a rake? I'm not responsible...I'd take it to the Supreme Court!
If I had a drone I wouldn't spy on people like that, or get within 300 feet of a house.
I'm sure it would upset horses.
I found one a few years ago near my homeplace lake. Never knew who it belonged to, but no business being there.

500 feet?!?!? Heck, I've seen them come in so low they had to pick the tail up to go over the buildings. Nowhere in that did I see that crop dusters had to be certifiably crazy... that must be another case of no precise definition.

Most all my VILE little rodents seem to enjoy the poison bait pellets. They are designed for mice. I'm feeding them to - mice & pocket gophers. Now I have to find some non-poisonous solution for the chipmunks.

Share something with us we might not know.

mosquitoes are more attracted to the odor of mice infected with the parasite that carries malaria than to the aroma of healthy mice.

mosquitoes are more attracted to the odor people with Dengue and Zika too

A volatile from the skin microbiota of flavivirus-infected hosts promotes mosquito attractiveness

The host-seeking activity of hematophagous arthropods is essential for arboviral transmission. Here, we demonstrate that mosquito-transmitted flavivir…

So mosquitoes don't merely spread disease they are hard-wired to do so.

BUT THERE'S HOPE
Dr Wang gave the infected mice an oral vitamin A supplement, which reverted their microbiome to a healthier state, the interest of the mosquitoes waned.


Wang says that vitamin A deficiency is common in low- and middle-income countries, especially where mosquito-transmitted diseases like these two viruses are prevalent.

"relatively larger fields"

I wonder what semiliterate baboon they hired to write that drek. Relatively larger? Welcome to the department of excessive wordiness department which is joined up with and combined with the department of redundancy department.
The word "large" would have been fine.
