Drone Shuts Down Newark Airport

More airport shutdowns due to drones. I expect this to become more common and more sophisticated.

From NYT:

All flights bound for Newark Liberty International Airport were halted on Tuesday evening after two pilots reported seeing a drone flying nearby, the Federal Aviation Administration said.

The drone was spotted about 3,500 feet over Teterboro Airport In New Jersey, a small airport about 17 miles north of Newark Liberty that handles private planes, the agency said. After the sightings, takeoffs from Newark were halted and inbound planes were held in the air.
