A First for Me
I have thousands of hours of flying time. I've been flying since getting my OG Phantom when they first came out and have never had this happen.
Yesterday I was in Portlandia and as soon as I launched the crows were not happy. Not unusual and I expect it. They all started buzzing the UAS and I was cringing waiting for one to actually hit it they were so close. I ignored them and kept working.
Then they changed tactics. They started strafing runs on the drone AND me AND were literally dropping bombs on me and the drone. They missed the drone but got me a few times.
Note to self: add baby wipes to my kit.

I was doing training flights recently. Watching the murder of crows flying around. They kept getting closer until I shut down the training. No point in losing a drone for training. I'll happily relocate.
