"At an Air Force Association breakfast Tuesday, Gen. Mike Holmes, commander of Air Combat Command, said a pilot in a Lockheed Martin (LMT)
F-22 had a 'near collision with a small UAS' while trying to land. He
said that a hobbyist was most likely flying the unmanned aerial system,
but warned 'you never know.'
'Imagine a world where somebody flies a couple hundred of those and
flies one down the intake of my F-22s with just a small weapon on it',
he said.
In April, the Federal Aviation Administration banned drone flight
over 133 military bases, and Holmes said there are signs around bases
that say it's a 'no-drone area.'
But that has done little to stop drones from wandering into military
airspace. Holmes said that in a separate incident last week, a drone
flew over a gate at another base."
