Droning onwards and upwards!

Off we go...into the wild blue, crowded skies full of planes and drones. Hey how are you today? Ready to take off...your shoes, kick back and enjoy a refreshing mug of arabica coffee and a virtual treat? I should think so! Speaking of taking off, read this...

The US Federal Aviation Administration recently granted (likely for the first time ever) an application to fly a paper airplane. 

Prominent drone advocate Peter Sachs had applied to conduct commercial aerial photography with his "aircraft" (a Tailor Toys model with a tiny propeller and maximum range of 180 feet), and the agency, concerned with air traffic safety, accommodated by treating the request (unironically?) under the rules for manned flights (that, among other restrictions, Sachs must not exceed 100 mph and must engage a licensed airplane pilot to fly it). "

With this grant," said the "victorious" Sachs, "the FAA has abandoned all logic and sensibility." 

So there you go...a stimulating bit of trivia you may use at will.

See ya, eh!
