[QUOTE="steebu, post: 523611, member: 740"] I love drones - I have two prosumer and one hobbyist unit and do "stuff" with them at work. However, it is incredibly difficult to get drones to do cool shows at the moment. Last year's Super Bowl halftime show with those cool drones? Filmed earlier in the week. The drone show done at the PyeongChang Olympics opening cermony? Also pre-filmed. The two biggest things at play are: 1. The FAA has designated certain no-fly zones, particularly if you are close to an airport. Two weeks ago a drone presumably hit a 737 just outside of Tijuana, Mexico. It won't be fun if a GT drone malfunctions, shoots two miles up into the air and flies into a GE90 engine on a 777 on final approach to Hartsfield. 2. You cannot fly a drone over public events without MAJOR permits. CNN just got theirs from the FAA but you have to abide by all kinds of crazy rules (self-disintegrating props, prop guards, etc.). Again, a gaggle of malfunctioning drones with whirling blades of death slashing into hundreds of fans isn't exactly an ideal fan experience. Now if TS wants to hire me to run the GT drone program to work through those issues I'll be more than happy to move back to Atlanta for that. :D I'll even double-time and act as "Option Game Coordinator".
