[QUOTE="rhettduke, post: 104580, member: 13647"] Mr Shan, I agree with your point about a Air or pro being a better choice of asset in a perfect world where we have all the best tools at our disposal. I could be off topic here and if I am I do apologize. I was involved with a small SAR team with other civilians several years back. No drones....Boots on the Ground ops. A lot of people showed up for the first few training sessions but soon that number dwindled greatly. The ones still active got invited to all kinda of training.....from basic first aid...basic haz mat acesment . This was some time back...after the Hurricane Katrina incident. There were no drones then. Again maybe off topic. Mavic and Phantom are superior birds. I have Phantom and Spark with multiple power cells and other devices to enhance their range and eyesight. I train with both. Ill leave with just the observation that if a man or woman shows up to training with a Spark....the local group if its worth much will work with a Spark Pilot to teach them all the aspects every SAR member needs to know to be part of the team. Some of the members will let the spark owners fly their big birds in training exercises. ..in a perfect world the Mavics and Phantoms rule the air. I like the guy who shows up for training with a spark.....even if he doesnt fly on a real world mission on the day we hope never happens...he is defenitly a ground asset and has a place on the team. Next thing you know he might win the lottery and buy a fleet of Inspires with every form of sensor and have Ground Stations with 43 inch screens..... Spark pilots who train train train....are worthy investments in my humble opinion. Not many fighter pilots start out with F-16 s.....they usually start with lesser birds. The Spark is a great gateway into civilian SAR....at least that’s my opinion.....your mileage may differ. [/QUOTE]
