Lets talk drones

Gordy
Here here my friend. Was on a fire few years ago out west turned into 167,000Ha fire. 100+rotary and Air Tanker groups. If you had a mile vis was luxury. It's a shame when values and properties burn because of some idiot launching a drone, when you work so hard to save them. It has happened this year in Canada. Everyone is on frequency, keeps us somewhat safe from running into each other, flying planned routes and altitudes. Be bit of a shocker to come head to head with a drone out of the smoke. Be safe Gordy, talk soon mate.

Like I said on an earlier post, I worked along side a professionally operated drone last month. Nearly impossible to see, especially if your head is out a longline window or in low vis.
