Brown's reasoning mystifies us.
California needs to pour cold water on the idiots flying drones so close to California wildfires that they threaten lives and drive away aircraft trying to put out the blazes,Wholesale Jerseys.
This is particularly true of firefighting. Pilots already risk their lives dealing with the weight of fire retardants and the unpredictable air currents created by out-of-control fires. A collision with even a small hobby drone could be deadly, and having to avoid them risks lives on the ground.
