Here are two news stories from the training exercise I helped conduct last week in south Texas. We were training the Texas A&M personnel on how to operate as the ground crew for the UAV system they purchased last year. They did a great job and it was fun week working with them all week despite the colder than normal temperatures that we had to deal with. So congratulations to TAMU-CC on successfully completing their first training exercise with their RS-16 UAV system! Looking forward to more flying in the future!
