#Yesterday morning an Alitalia pilot reported seeing a remote-controlled aircraft near New york's JFK AIRPORT where he was landing.

The drone was flying about 4 to 5 miles west of the airport at an altitude of about 1750 feet

While the 2012 act re-authorizing the FAA removed the height ceiling for model aircraft it was very clear about boundaries around an airport.

Flying a drone within 5 miles of an airport requires notifying that airport; otherwise you risk prosecution.

Initial reports place the drone at 4 to 5 miles away from the airport which means it isn't clear

and if flown within 5 miles of an airport the air traffic controller is notified beforehand.

So hell yes it should be illegal within 5 miles of any airport. This part of the 2012 FAA reauthorization states explicitly flying a model aircraft is legal

Yes drones shouldn't fly near airports but drones are not inherently evil. Drones can save lives as well as end them.

Now I certainly don't condone flying any kind of model aircraft at 1500'in the middle of an approach route to a major airport

which except for around airports almost always fly much higher. There is nothing illegal about what

Airports'newest groundskeepers: farm animalshave trouble napping on planes? Fly out of Atlanta and you may soon be able to lull yourself into a slumber by counting sheep.

At airports such as Atlanta â¢s Hartsfield-Jackson International, officials have added the animals to their grounds crew as a low-cost way to cut down on weeds

and other hard-to-mow grasses on airport property. After just two days of testing the sheep â¢s weed-whacking abilities in a test acre lot near Atlanta's airport,

the animals had eaten through nearly half of the high-flying weeds in the area. Since the airport has about 3

000 acres of land to maintain, the sheep could prove extremely useful in making sure vegetation doesn â¢t grow into habitats for birds

and other animals that might endanger airport activities, WXIA of Atlanta notes. Hartsfield-Jackson isn â¢t the only airport catching on to the idea of animals as lawnmowers.

Seattle and San francisco have tried similar methods in the past and officials at Chicago O â¢Hare are currently contemplating the use of goats to cut down on weeds.

In Atlanta, airport officials are crunching numbers to see if the sheep can keep the land tidy more efficiently

To cut fire risk, San francisco airport hires 400 goatsshrubs and small trees around airports could become fire hazards for nearby homes

and should be removed every spring. San francisco International airport (SFO) has an additional problem: they can t use humans

or machines for the job because two vulnerable critters live there. AP reports. Populations of the endangered San francisco garter snake and the threatened California red-legged frog have made airport land their home.

That's why for the last five years, SFO has hired a herd from Goats R Us to clear brush in a remote corner of the airport.

After traveling 30 miles from their home in Orinda, California, Mr. Fuzzy, Cookie, Mable, Alice, and nearly 400 other goats spent two weeks in June cutting away a 20-foot firebreak on the west side of the airport.

We're pleased with our organic process for weed abatement airport spokesman Doug Yakel said. The airport paid $14, 900 for the service this year.

Chicago's O'hare International airport (ORD) has requested bids for goats to clear brush in an out of the way area of a 7, 000-acre property.

They're expecting them sometime this summer. Goats R Us has about 4, 000 active goats on their payroll.
