This has nothing to do with flying drones near a plane and you’re clearly insinuating that if a plane can survive an encounter with a brick wall, then a drone shouldn’t be a problem.
If I’m wrong feel free to tell me how.
Your wrong;
and I have tried to clearly explain how - you locked in your opinion and proceeded to engage in the manner you felt was the right way, however I think you are misunderstanding me.
When I wrote:
"I am surprised
that pilot hits a brick wall and thinks nothing of the implications but a drone anywhere near them and it’s a news worthy event."
And then goes on further to hopefully allow the reader to understand the effort at humor
"Mind you, I think this pilot is blind and probably would not have seen a drone anyways."
My intent was a to both poke fun of this pilot (judgement to proceed when it seems crazy to think he didn't feel that impact in the cockpit hen you look at the after photos provided) and to poke fun at how many sightings of a drone near a plane have happened, but there is no way this pilot could have seen a drone as its implied he doesn't see very well and the small drone compared to this wall, he would have never noticed.
I will also go on the record and say I can now see why you believe I am "insinuating" that a drone near a plane is not a big deal, however that was not my intent when I wrote what you read and came to believe this. My original line of thinking was aligned to the humor of "spotting a drone" from the cockpit and how often those reports have been found to be not true or can not be confirmed - and contrast that with 'if he / Pilot can not see a brick wall how will he see a more difficult small and moving drone'.
I think the misunderstanding developed when you read my original post comment of "...drones seem very soft compared to brick walls." - which at the time I wrote was more a comment on the durability of the plane but not an endorsement of the line of thinking that hitting a drone with a plane is in any way acceptable or suggestive of fly your drone and don't worry about the planes. I can see how you came to your conclusion, and I hope you can accept that maybe I didn't mean it the way you read it.
You could have asked me directly what was on your mind about this situation. You would have got the straight and honest answer you were looking for and less friction between us - I will extend you the respect of assuming your character is as least as good as mine is. After all, a shared interest generally means at least some shared values. (Specifically safety if I am not clear).
