I say get use to these drones.
In the future it will not be an ambulance who pick you up when you get so ill the local doctors or nurses send you to the nearest hospital. No..you will be flown by 4-6 heavy drones who are build together. You will be laying on a (forgot the word) with some plexiglas over you(just like in M*A*S*H) while watching the sky and the propellar. Markus |

And if you did not pay your health insurance they will just shoot you and then drop you into the next bog..

Drones are useful tools.
I have a niece whose partner is a big time mussle and oyster farmer here on the Island. He uses a drone to check on his lines which are spread out over large areas of water...and to keep an eye on the thieves. Big savings in manpower and time. My daughter's boyfriend is a k-9 guy for the RCMP. When ever they are tracking someone who may be dangerous the drone guy gets called in. They can keep an eye on him and stay at a safe distance. They usually let the person see the drone and that's when they give up.

Not good at all
Imagine a Neo Fascist or Antifa fanatic sending one of these to their opponent with 10 pounds of C4. PS: Love the comments! "This is his fastest speed" THAT'S WHAT HE WANTS US TO THINK I feel so sorry when he tripped because he was dragging the weight I know one day he will kill me and my family but hes so cute 2020: “I give the orders, and Spot decides how to carry them out.” 2021: “Spot has decided he gives the orders now.” |

https://www.worldtribune.com/former-...ir-force-base/ And America allows it. And then wonders where drones are coming from. Near sensitive centres of its electrical powergrid. And air force bases. And fuel dumps. And now their traffic cops chase mysterious drones that scan these perimeters at night and have described obvious stealth capabilities. And America allows it. Becasue it is a good idea to have aCXhinese army generla opwinign land in texas with a 5000 ft airstrip who cliams he builds wind mills. In a region with low and no winds. No, the EU is not the only one behaving intentionally stupid. And who is said to be the enemy in the coming next big war? Right. China.

There was a bunch of news stories of this guy. The feds were supposed to be looking for him but then I didn't hear anything more about it. Kinda forgot until you mentioned it.

I always wonder who buys those out my way in fire prone California. I don't know of any public places you could launch a rocket now and speaking for myself, anyone who actually uses or used them to fly a model rocket.

There was a reported sighting of the jet pack man a couple of days ago, but still nothing definite as to who or what it is; according to the local LA news reports, the FBI, FAA, and a number of of the alphabet agencies have been looking into the sightings, but have not found anything definitive, although there seems to be a growing consensus the sightings may be of a drone; interestingly, the latest sighting was some five miles to the east of LA International Airport (LAX), and since LAX is located right on the edge of the coastline, that would place the sighting at a significant distance offshore... <O>
