I am an airplane flyer, have been for 45 years. It was never that popular with communities, so always done in rather remote areas. Unfortunately, drones have drawn negative attention to an otherwise worthwhile hobby. There is incessant negative portrayal in movies and media. The proliferation of models and customers almost guarantees some issues of irresponsible use and difficulty in regulating the activity. And, the anonymity of ownership emboldens potential troublemakers. Please don't paint all users with the same brush. Often, the owner explores an area out of curiosity and moves on. If not, there may be something more to investigate.
