I had a very close encounter with an airplane type drone this morning at a thousand, so if anybody sees a video on YouTube or anywhere grab a screen shot. It was very unnerving.

Be careful out there. :Jim

WOW..... glad all is good. You do need to report it though Greg.
The only weapon we have against them.

I was on the radio with Lakeland Tower at the time so they made a report
I hope the drone guy is dumb enough to post the video up somewhere and we find him that way

I will search. These guys need to be stopped.
What the hell was the damn thing doing at 1000 feet????
Dumb asses! I am glad you are OK.

There was one at 3000 feet in dallas a commercial airline reported it. I have had several close ones with Mickey Mouse balloons both in the gyro and once in a jet.
