Why is this on CNN?

[GaUSFBull]

Because it's interesting?

Probably shouldn't have been a new thread, though ... There is already a thread on this in Our Alma Mater.

Has to be something better to spend that money on. Seems mostly done for the cool factor. But maybe the football team can use them for overhead shots of practice.

I'm speechless

1) Fleet?

2) It's leftover grant money and we're talking $3000, not $30000.

FWIW, I was chatting with some people who are moderately high up the line and were in on this decision and they love it.

Okay so he didn't check our alma mater site before he posted big **** deal it's kind of inexcusable for people to keep bashing people for horse **** like that. That's why people don't post. It could benefit a program... an eye in the sky does not lie

Cripes already. It's only news because it was called a drone in the press release.

 

It's not a drone, it's a freaken RC helicopter with a GoPro. Nothing to see here.

Lots of people post on TBP. And probably most appreciate a clean forum without duplicate threads.

Thank you for your opinion.
