Over 600 hours total time, and 400+ in IFR ... I really loved flying in IMC ... less jolly-hoppers loitering around the instrument approaches. Airprox once on instrument approach - inbound on ILS, just broke through cloud just as a 152 came zipping across the path skimming the cloudbase.

Passenger Jet Nearly Struck by Drone Just 10 Feet Away Near Heathrow
A passenger jet narrowly avoided a potentially catastrophic collision with a drone near Heathrow Airport earlier this year, according to a recent report from the UK Airprox Board. The incident, which occurred in May, saw an Airbus A320 — the type of aircraft commonly used by carriers such as British Airways, Lufthansa, and Wizz Air — at an altitude of 9,000 feet when the drone suddenly appeared in its flight path.

it's not even called a 'near miss' anymore, it's now called an 'airprox' which simply implies that two aircraft came into or nearly into conflict.

I wanted to find out more so I tried to find the Airprox report but their website is the least navigable thing I've ever seen (see picture) so I did a search for 'Airprox Bury St Edmunds' and it turns out there are a fuckin lot of near misses over the local air bases

In aviation they don't really call it a "near miss" anymore ... since if you "nearly miss" it, it means you hit it - it should be called a "near hit", but in the air it's called an AIRPROX (Air Proximity), and on the ground it's called "stupidity"
