Any soaring operation(s) in that area? Keep your head on the swivel!

The report does not say where in the NY area they will be. My bet,
they will be in the MOAs where the F-16s flew. If you fly in the MOA,
your head should be on a swivel anyway, especially with F-16s in the
area.

In most areas the UAS/UAV cannot fly outside the MOA without an
escourt. Get a xpndr, it will help the UAV operator see and avoid.

True, but the Predator and escort may not have a CAS - get a PCAS for
a fraction of the price of a xponder, being portable, you can put it
in any aircraft you fly, and it will help YOU see and avoid.
