[GreenKeys] Good part time retirement job

Awesome. Very cool (and scary).

On a side note, the videography company actually broke the law by doing this (don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger!)  The FAA has banned the use of drones for commercial use until at least 2017 while they figure out what the laws should be.  Drones for home use are allowed but there are restrictions including that they cannot be flown higher than 500 feet (clearly, this one was 1500 or more feet).  A commercial exemption can be granted by the FAA but to date, only 33 (or something like that) have been granted. AND the grant only allows you to fly as experimental aircraft on only 6 airfields in the US. So this guy did break the law, technically speaking. The FAA has fined a small handful of people for doing this.

Europe is much more progressive here and they have a permit process to allow commercial drone use.

Hi
I don't like to send anything that isn't a teletype issue, but I'm sure there are Hams that have towers.
