They compliment each other well.
I quite agree J.
Mustering in Australia come to mind.A poorly paid job with young individuals who dream of a better life than slumming it in the outback and often the victims of unnecessary accidents.
A decent drone controller could easily do the job without all the inherent risks.The days of the aerial photography business using light aircraft are long gone with every estate agent drone equipped and I can see a lot of helicopter operations going the same way.
