Flight #14 - The Problem With Abandoned Mines

I have made up my abandoned mind, we are talking about abandoned mines this week. With Kevin and Fraser out on roadshow duty, Jacob and I are joined by SRK's Olga Gibbons to discuss the issue of abandoned mines, why they are such a problem and what companies like SRK can do about them with the help of UAVs. We also had Pieter Stockmayer from Flyability visiting our Utah office and he spoke with Jacob about the new hazardous inspection aircraft, the Elios 3.
