I have always thought flying drones was all fun and games until I came across a drone on final approach. I am not sure what footage the drone owner was trying to get but the drone was dangerously speeding towards my prop. I had to go around! I reported the incident to ATC but the drone owner was no where to be found. Be safe guys!

Wow, this might be frightening especially when you first notice the drone approaching your engine. I bet flying drones near areas known to have aircrafts on low profiles is a highly prohibited.
