It really would not take long for the airport to launch a drone to look for the other one. Maybe a minute? They could have a experienced pilot on staff at the tower. Costs a lot less than shutting down the airport for hours.
I would even say a skilled pilot with a trackable drone in communication with the tower could safely fly to investiage without a shutdown of the airport.

- jstanley 8y agoHow would launching a drone help you look for another one if you don't know where it is? At least when you're looking from ground level you can be sure the drone is above you.
