Again, great job and thanks for the opportunity from @RCdancer , @FatherXmas , and @Thunderdrones !

I appreciated the classroom presentation, Q&A, discussions, and applications with practice missions. It is helpful to actually practice operations similar to real-world situations to get an understanding of the things to consider and difficulties in getting success.

It was also great to get to meet others and share knowledge and experiences.

I received this email last night from one of the pilots we trained this past weekend ....

"I thought I’d share this with you.

I got called out today (April 1) for a SAR mission to find an 8 year old that was missing. She was last seen walking away from her house in a rural area. Even though she was found shortly before I arrived on scene, I was a lot more confident while responding and on what I would have needed to do once I arrived.

Thanks for putting on the SAR class and I can’t wait for the next one."

Wow, that outstanding. I do not mean for the little girl being lost, but that people recognize that we exist, and are here to help.

For those that trained in Mentone and wanted to order this shirt, I sent a link out. If you didn't get it, PM me and I'll send you the link to order it.

I am very interested in sUAV SAR. I live in southern Illinois and would like to get some training and perhaps get involved. Where do I start?

 

[crlmjohnson]

I live in Indiana.....I think the group from Alabama would like to get at least 20 individuals involved, and a location to hold the training...for them to come up from Mentone, Al to give the training.
