FBI asks for public’s help in finding drone operator
While on a final descent into John F. Kennedy airport after flying in from Rome, the pilot on an Alitalia flight noticed a drone aircraft just 200 feet from the jet. It was black, no larger than three feet wide, and had four propellers. So far the owner of the drone still hasn’t been found. NBC’s Ron Mott reports.

Sounds more like a toy R.C. plane than a drone.
Wonder what the size\specs seperate "toy class" from "drone class"

I can see it now, if not already. Remote control hobby style model planes that look like drones.
