A-Team rescues dogs


Drone operations in Spain had been feeding dogs on a portion of
the mountain surrounded by lava flows.


A plan was in place and operators received permission to fly
their UAS to the dogs in an attempt to rescue them.


Once the plan was solidified and in place, the dogs
disappeared. 


The animals were apparently rescued by unknown persons who
spray-painted a message “The dogs are fine. - The A-Team”.

Mesa Airlines and drone delivery


Mesa Air group has signed an agreement with Flirtey Eagle
drones. 


Mesa will be using these aircraft for nearly all delivery types
but will start with commercial food and beverage deliveries.


So far, Mesa has purchased 4 sUAS for testing, with the option of
500 more. 


With the purchase of these drones, Mesa becomes the first
US-scheduled airline to launch a commercial drone delivery
service.

New MicaSense Camera


AgEagle, who we reported on last week is releasing a new
MicaSense RedEdge-P sensor


This sensor is a multi-spectral and RGB sensor designed for
spectral analysis of plants and has a larger spatial resolution
than the previous RedEdge.


It is interesting to see this release only a week or so after
AgEagle announced the purchase of SenseFly.


We may soon see MicaSense and ebee aircraft together!
