What " legal requirement" doesn't allow for a full tank of gas?No, it wouldn't. There is an airport nearby and the FBI uses a section of it as a staging area.from the link
FBI Director Robert Mueller acknowledged the law enforcement agency uses drone aircraft in the United States for surveillance in certain difficult cases.
the standoff would be a difficult case
--LOL
near by --LOL
a 172 could not carry legally enough fuel to fly from burns to the area
linger around and then return home
but thanks
Oregon standoff: FBI stages at Burns airport
Derp!
wow impressive
airplanes have a limited amount of time and distance
they can legally cover
if they are loaded up with camera gear
all the less time to linger about
and stay within the legal flying requirements
that airport was quite a distance from the ambush site
Thirty miles away. About a twenty minute flight. A 172 can carry two hours of gas. What " legal requirement" doesn't allow for a full tank of gas?
it is not a legal requirement dummy --LOL
it is a physical requirement
the more you load on the airplane
passengers firearms filming equipment and such
the less fuel you carry
simple as that
there are legal requirements for fuel on board as well derp
