It appears that the ultimate selfie camera has been invented.
A company has introduced a camera on a quadcopter platform it says is the world's first "throw-and-shoot" device. Called Lily, the quadcopter will follow a person wearing a GPS tracking device and automatically focus its camera on the person wearing it, and shoot HD stills or videos. The device and its carrying case are both waterproof allowing operations under wet conditions. When defense and intelligence officials in Washington, D.C. said that they needed to continue to purchase Russian-built RD-180 rocket engines for use by United Launch Alliance, U.S. Senator John McCain, chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee, had a simple answer which was… No. The Vintage Aircraft Association has commenced a major expansion of its Red Barn headquarters and Vintage Plaza complex for this year’s Oshkosh fly-in. The Vintage enhancement project is highlighted by an expansion of the Vintage Interview Circle, where award-winning aircraft are brought each day during AirVenture. Live interviews with
the owners, pilots, and mechanics bring life to each aircraft’s story. All this... and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
