Near Drone Crash During Detroit America Strong Flyover, DJI Drones for Spying?, Brendan Schulman talks about DJI and Data Security, Drone Show in Rotterdam on Liberation Day, Drones for Disinfecting Sports Stadiums

Our big story this week is about a drone that came dangerously close to the Blue Angels during the recent Detroit America Strong Flyover. Drone U's Vic Moss managed to download this footage from Mr. Lucia, the drone pilot's FB page before it was pulled down. A TFR was likely in place when the drone pilot illegally captured this footage. Flouting a TFR is a breach of national defense airspace rules and is a federal crime. Currently, multiple agencies are on the lookout for Mr. Lucia. Tune in now for more detailed insights on this story!

In our next story, you will learn that Republican lawmakers have questioned if drones donated by DJI for public safety are being used for spying. Regular ADU listeners might be aware of the intense scrutiny that Chinese manufacturer DJI is facing with regards to data security. After the trade wars, these tensions have been exacerbated by the coronavirus outbreak. But, are these wild and illogical accusations fuelled by patriotic fervor? In a recent podcast, Brendan Schulman talks about the different issues that DJI is facing in the United States. If you are a drone enthusiast, we highly recommend you check out this interview.
