Kronos 5-2, you can turn a left on Alpha 3. And did you have to do any invasive maneuvers for the drone? No, we didn't have to avoid it at all, but it was like right-on final. We didn't really recognize it until we had already passed it. I saw it just under our wing. Kronos 5-2, Roger, do you know how big it was? It appeared to be a smaller drone. I mean, I would say it's... maybe smaller than a basketball, but it, I'm pretty sure it was yellow. Kronos 5-2, Roger. Was it stationary on final or was it moving a direction? It was completely stationary. Thank you. Contact ground. 0.0.7. Ground 5.7. 3-147. Visual 2-2, looking for the drone. Rochester. Crown. Kronos 5-2 off on alpha-3 taxi and a flight.
