AOPA has been in a media slump the last 6+ months, but they just uploaded a new video showcasing aerial animal control using R44s. And wow, where did the all the fancy editing come from all of a sudden? It's well done, if just a tad bit long.

Great video and highlights the utility of the cheapest 4 place piston helicopter you can buy and operate. Also shows off a very niche mission that really only a helicopter can do. At one time B206/MD500 owned this kind of mission. Interesting to hear the various crash stories of wire strikes and rotor/tail boom contact that resulted in pilots crashing and injury.

I'm on the side that the majority of this work will be done by drones inside of 10 years.

Machines like the DJI FlyCart 100 are just the beginning. 100 KG/220 LBS This platform will scale 10X easily.
