Helicopters were there first and UAV's are the new kids on the block
I seem to recall Airplane folks think that about Helicopters too.....with the same bias.
Drones are damn hard to see....but then so are Birds.....and for some helicopter pilots....Wires, Trees, Masts, Crane Booms, Helicopters, and Airplanes and good old Mother Earth at times.....just saying.
