Line Up and Wait
The article is a little light on details, but an Alitalia pilot reported seeing a drone flying at 1500' while he on 5 mile final into JFK's 31R (this would be well inside the Bravo from what I can tell).
I wonder if these "personal" drones are going to be the next phenomena to distract/threaten pilots, much like laser pointers. A bunch of idiots with $300 remote control toys are going to end up flying them much higher than they should and, if not actually hit anything, at least cause a lot of concern near congested areas.
