Aero-News Quote of the Day

"Python hunters finally have a tool to make hunting more efficient, bringing down the python numbers that are devastating Florida's Everglades. This drone and thermal technology is light-years ahead of shining a flashlight into the darkness and hoping for the best. The thermal imagery picked up not just the monster pythons, but also native snakes as small as 18 inches. This suggests that we'll be able to spot and eliminate clusters of python hatchlings, which will help curb their reproductive cycle."
