jigsaw 11,809 Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 they reckon its being done with the sole purpose of causing mayhem,,its been said theres a 30 minute time limit on the batteries and flying time and its been seen at least 4-5 times so its being brought down ,batteries being replaced and sent back in to the airport to cause as much havoc as is possible Quote Link to post Share on other sites
