Supposedly the latest extreme sport. LOL! The operators (I am loathe to call them Pilots, but they do have skills.

It is not these guys, who are near professional in their flying skills that bother me. It's the fourteen year olds who have the skills but no judgement...

Or the terrorists...

If this is the future of sports in America, I think I should buy shares in Weight Watchers.

Not many young teens will have expensive toys. It's the young working stiffs that are a bigger risk. Judging by the way some of them drive, they'll be a menace with a drone, too.
