Regarding drones, it feels like a $60k 172 would do the job in far less time in terms of purchase price, staff numbers and not require a ground based vehicle. Some of these drones are well in excess of $200k and require dual operators etc.
Yes our electricity supplier had a $500k drone shot down in rugged country, presumably by crop growers, could buy a lot of chopper time for that!
