Someone said on FaceBook that he had shared his logs online on several different forums. Surely one of us can figure out where and who [emoji2]
I bet at least two well known members here may know what happened... they’ve both helped with mapping the possible location of at least one lost Phantom near the strip in Las Vegas from the flight logs...
Oh I'm sure but I was meaning to figure out where that operator posted his flight logs.
So what is typical with getting access to information regarding incidences like these.
Eventually, incidences like these are pretty much fully published within the greater aviation community.
I'd love to see his Flight Log for this incident.
Here's a thread he started over in the DJI forum (he apparently has multiple user names there LOL)

You are kidding, right? He was flying in controlled airspace w/o authorization. DJI was negligent?If it was a DJI drone, he didn't nothing to bypass DJI geofencing and he has deep pockets he should sue DJI for negligence. Now I know everyone is going to say DJI has a disclaimer and you use the drone at your own discretion but (from LawFind.com)…
"A product liability disclaimer usually doesn’t shield a manufacturer from liability in a typical case where the customer purchases the product from a store. For customers, the law guarantees that the product will be safe when used in a reasonably foreseeable way. Manufacturers often try to avoid this responsibility by inserting written disclaimer. However, these disclaimers usually don’t count for much since, as a customer, you haven’t bargained for the loss of your warranty rights."
I know the issue is much more complex but with its practice of geofencing DJI IMHO has taken on some level of responsibility for keeping drones out of airspace where they don't belong.
