A skilled drone pilot flew two to three large unidentified drones over Copenhagen Airport on Monday night, shutting down the airspace for hours as the unknown perpetrator appeared to be showboating over Scandinavia’s largest airport, police said Tuesday. Officials chose not to shoot down the drones because the risk was too great with an airport full of passengers, planes on the runways, and nearby fuel depots, said Jens Jespersen, senior police inspector of the Copenhagen Police. Jespersen called the pilot «a capable actor» and said the culprit seemed intent on showing off their skills and possibly practicing their techniques, reports the AP.
