Actually, if you are somehow at an altitude where a MEDIVAC flight (or any flight) goes under you (or climbs/descends into you), you are almost certainly either flying too high or too close to an airport or similar restricted airspace (e.g. Forest fire). In any event, I can't envision a scenario...

Nope. A collision with an airplane could have no effect on the airplane or it could have a catastrophic effect on the airplane that ultimately results in the loss of life and property. The drone will almost certainly not survive the incident. The operator of the drone will almost certainly have...

Aircraft could have anything from no damage to a catastrophic outcome. Phantom owner will experience serious repercussions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very nice! What is the arched structure you flew around?

Why not just remove the distortion with a camera model in something like Photoshop. If you want less distortion you'll have to sacrifice field of view because that's the trade off.

If you download it using your computer and put it in Dropbox, you can download the video to your iPhone/iPad using the Dropbox app.

They're certified hazardous waste handlers so they should be good. Tell them when you drop it off and put a piece of electrical tape over the contacts. :) The big danger of batteries with lithium is their flammability.

The best method of disposal would be a household hazardous waste depot/dropoff. Check your city's website to find out where and when they are. If you're concerned about the contacts shorting out when in a bin of dead batteries you could put a piece of electrical tape over them as a precautionary...

That's quite the story! :) You might want to ask people to look in their swimming pools. I can see a couple of them in the last image you posted. Good luck!

Because the US does not have shutter control over all earth observing satellites because many of them are owned by non-US companies.

I would not run to the media. You'll have no control over how they portray you and your story, which could end up hurting you. People who talk to the media should have training on how to deal with the press because there are definite dos and don'ts that can make the difference between a good...

In general, the landowner gets to say what you can and cannot do on their land. In this case, the park ranger is acting on behalf of the landowner. If the landowner says "please leave" then you should leave lest the next thing is to declare you trespassing. (Yes, you can trespass on...

I ended up buying one of the ones with the ribbed back. A bit more than I wanted to spend, but it shipped sooner than other options would have. Used it for the first time yesterday and it made things much simpler. Thanks all for the comments and suggestions. :)
