A recent thread got me thinking about the probability of an aircraft and done colliding. Without trying to ruffle anyone's feathers I suspected that the chances were infinitesimal. But thinking and coming up with the educated estimate of probability are not the same thing. After giving some thought to the variables involved things quickly became too confusing. I then thought of aircraft/radiosonde collisions. I couldn't find any record of one but I did find a pdf that I think could apply equally to drones. Here's the link:

I understand that flying a drone in a traffic pattern would enhance the probability significantly but I'm not up to doing the math to figure that out.
