” it could get ugly.”

Loosing and engine on approach isn’t that difficult to deal with. The problem is there is probably more to this than just a drone. Who every was flying it know where they were and what they were up to.

Landing or takeoff! AWACs have been brought down by Canada Geese. They are based on 707 airframes. Remember “Miracle on the Hudson”? It would be just like any bird strike into a turbofan. Potentially fatal up to knocking the turbofan off of the wing.
