So as you guys may or may not know, I recently started a new job. The first week went really well and I think I have a winner to stay with for a while to come. That being said, I have been asked to do some sensor testing from a helicopter in my second week with the company and that's outside of...

Hey guys, I'm in Fort Worth inspecting a bunch of fairly big buildings and I'm in need of a second Visual Observer for a project I'm leading/flying. Dates are from 10/8 to around 10/15 skipping the weekend. Yes, for a day rate of $100-150(!!), you too can see me fly a drone in real life! I know...

I'm sitting in a virtual movie theater, watching some movie I've never heard of before (Mr. Nobody?), listening to three people (one in England, one in the Netherlands, and one in the US) talking quietly about the movie and what's happening in it, while posting this thread and browsing POA all...
