This still surprises me. That’s a ton of money to patrol a power line. There are a number of power companies turning to UAVs to do the job.
First Energy for Duke - they had a lineman in the back that was actually mounting the towers to get a close detailed look. This was just north of Columbus Ohio and they were ending their day in Youngstown and then finishing their week in central Pennsylvania - that's a lot of flying in a 500! I'm sure it's not cheap.
I’ve read that a tornado hit the NMUSAF restoration hangar. A weather hit is a nightmare for every museum professional but a hit on your restoration facility makes for bad news.

Its not a pretty sight. Drove by on the way home today. That hangar is a major work center in the restoration flow. They do amazing work. Hopefully things will be cleaned up in short order.I’ve read that a tornado hit the NMUSAF restoration hangar.

Are you actually in the Navy? If so, just stop by the quarter deck and talk to whoever has the duty. They can probably point you in the right direction. Also, I believe you can get pretty close to the approach on Oceana similar to Mayport so you can spend all day watching air traffic come in and out.
I'm also pretty good with Excel. Not "investment banking analyst" good, but still pretty good.
Yep, I'm in now, but this is the first real base I've been on. The only time I've stepped foot on a quarterdeck was at Newport for ODS -- in the Reserves I'm attached to an Army unit and we drill on (well, technically off) an Army base.
I think commercial helo operators are getting the message! Kaman's KARGO UAV platform has a launch customer with my old employer, PHI.

I played that until the wifey yelled at me to shut it off (But you gotta picture shut up those flopters in a Filipina accent IYKYK)

Confined...ha!
I think it has to do with aligning with the Flight Director. It looks like the NOTAM has everyone on the same arrival or departure path, and the FD has to move them to the actual heli-pad to depart (other wise it's "off-airport"), so he's spinning them in the same direction (towards him) before clearing them to lift.
