Drones in Aviation: From War Machines to Everyday Flyers | Hot Topic Briefing

In this Hot Topic Briefing episode of the Black Box Aviation Podcast, Tom & Mike dive into the fascinating world of drones — past, present, and future.

We trace drone flight from its surprising beginnings in 1849 unmanned balloons to modern military UCAVs, kamikaze drones, and modified commercial UAVs. We also look at the civilian side: FAA regulations, Part 107 licensing, and how drone pilots can turn their skills into an $80K career.

But it’s not all smooth flying — we cover drone near-misses with commercial jets, wildfire collision incidents, and the mysterious New Jersey drone sightings that even reached the White House briefing room in 2024.

Whether you’re a pilot, drone hobbyist, or just curious about how unmanned aircraft are reshaping aviation, this episode delivers history, insights, and some jaw-dropping stories.
