'Drones' saving lives thanks to Central Texas non-profit

Gene Robinson's work with RP Search Services has been covered here before, but there's a nice news story with write-up here.  Gene emphasizes the positive use of "unmanned aircraft" (as he prefers to call them), and how he hopes that flight permission will be easier to come by.

Gene is really a fantastic ambassador for what we are all seeking to see happen with UAV, UAS technologies. I also love the Non-profit aspect as it has allowed him to avoid the headaches of flight for profit with the current state of affairs with the FAA. Great write up!

Nice to see someone fighting respectably from the inside.  Currently Texas is looking to pass the toughest legislation on drones in the US.
