‘That having been said, any amateur model rocketer that indulges in their hobby near an airport, with planes flying overhead, is an idiot. MEthinks that there’s more to this than meets the eye. “

He wasn’t ‘near’ an airport, at least if you consider 8 miles sufficient distance. Seems the plane was flying really low though. Most commercial jets are over 5000 feet within a couple miles let alone 8 miles.

I believe you are supposed to notify the FAA if your rocket goes over 3000 feet or so. Regardless of your distance from the airport.

The fact that they are even using the word “rocket” is unusual. I would have expected space junk...meteorite...birds etc. Have they “r/o” Terrorism yet?
