🚨🇺🇸 DRONE PUNCHES HOLE IN LA FIREFIGHTING PLANE AS FBI HUNTS PILOT

FBI investigating after unauthorized drone left 3x6 inch gash in Super Scooper's wing during critical Palisades Fire mission. 

The vital firefighting aircraft managed to land safely despite damage.

Federal agents have launched Counter-Drone task force and tip hotline as incident risks 12-month prison term. 

These water-scooping planes are crucial fire weapons, but pilots must dodge both flames and illegal drones flying as low as 150 feet.
