While this may seem harmless, the reality is that firefighting aircraft have been forced to abort their current missions and dump their fire retardant so that they could return and land within legal landing weight conditions.

Oregon Drone pilots should take special care to avoid flying anywhere that may conflict with air traffic. Please fly no closer than 5 miles to the nearest airport.
