This is a shorter version of our full list of the best drones on Drone Rush.
It is used to be that if you wanted a drone, you chose either the DJI Mavic Pro for its compact design or the legendary Phantom range of drones for their camera capabilities, but there are many more today Options. We’re researching the pros and cons of many drone rush drones, but today we’re going to focus only on the best of the best for you.
I ask you to learn the drone laws and register with the FAA before you fly. After all, it’s the law. Take a moment to find the right drone once you’re ready to fly to the sky. You might want an in-house toy, a racer driving the track, or an excellent camera drone to take photos and videos from the sky. There are one or two drones for all of these tasks.
Warning: The certification of drone pilots for all pilots will be available soon, as will the remote ID for all aircraft. Security is the name of the game, but you’ll need to take extra steps in the coming months before you fly.
Best drones on the market today:
Editor’s note: We will regularly update this list with new and exciting drones at launch. This update includes the exciting new DJI Mavic Air 2!
People buy and fly drones for a variety of reasons, so we’ll look at the best machines in a number of categories. If these drones don’t quite meet your needs, we’ve evaluated hundreds of others on Drone Rush. Here are the best drones:
9. Hubsan H111
Best indoor nano drone – $ 18
There is not a single category for small drones, but we generally consider any machine that fits in the palm of your hand as a nanodrone. One of our absolute favorites is the Hubsan H111. We respect Hubsan as a brand, we have many of their larger drones in various other categories on the website, but the H111 is one of the easiest to use and safest to fly indoors.
Make no mistake, this is a toy drone. It has limited battery life and minimal flight capabilities compared to more advanced machines, but it lives on my desk and flies a lot. It’s challenging enough to improve my pilot skills and have fun. The price is also a great Christmas present.
Check out the Hubsan H111 on Amazon.
8. Syma X5C-1
Best toy drone, a resilient trainer – $ 42
We firmly believe that every prospective drone pilot starts with a drone-like the Syma X5C should. This toy-class drone has limited functionality but corresponds to the pilot experience of more expensive drones. Flying this machine helps you master the basics of the flight, understand which direction it is going, and manage to press the video capture button at the right time on that flight. Crashes are almost inevitable, but would you prefer to learn how to deal with crashes on a machine that’s worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars, or with a robust and fun Syma X5C?
7. UVify OOri
Best racing drone trainer, the need for speed on a leash – $ 295
This is for those who want high-speed fun of silky smooth photo and video recording from Prefer heaven. The UVify OOri impressed us with its durability and flight ability when we tried it out at CES 2018. This small drone can fly safely in your home with the propeller guards installed. It is stable and has enough flight assistance functions so that most people can control it by circling the couch. Machines like the Hubsan H111 and the Syma X5C reach a speed of less than 15 km / h – not the case with Ori. Give the UVify OOri some freedom of movement and it will reach a speed of up to 100 km / h.
When you look at a racing drone, there are many compromises. These machines are designed for speed, extreme maneuverability, and short-distance operation for a race that takes a little over five minutes. A fun alternative to this drone is the Fat Shark 101 racing trainer.

AERONAUTICS: LEARNING ABOUT FLIGHT
Aeronautics can be defined as the science involved with the research, study, designing, and manufacturing of machines or technologies that can take flight. Aeronautics also includes the techniques used in operating aircraft as well as rockets within the atmosphere. NASA scientists are huge advocates for the study of aeronautics. The term aeronautics was originally used to refer to the operation of aircraft, however, in recent years, it has evolved to include technical aspects, business aspects, and other aspects that are related to aircraft. The word aviation is normally used interchangeably with aeronautics. However, Aeronautics is a much broader term since it includes ballistic vehicles and airships which are part of the engaging program at Olympia.
Aeronautics is basically the science of flying contraptions or inventions. Examples of flying machines are airplanes, helicopters, drones, and blimps. The word aeronautics stems from an old Greek word that translates to “Air Navigating” in English. Another area in the field of aeronautics is Aerodynamics which is the science behind how the air moves and affects objects. Aeronautics activities inspire campers to learn more about the science of flight and have a broader understanding of flying machines. Campers learn and think mostly about basic physics with fun engaging activities when they partake in aeronautics. Campers learn how to build rockets in teams while competing with other campers to see who comes first in aeronautics competitions.
With the rapid growth of the aviation and aerospace industry, it has been discovered that tremendous opportunities exist in this field for students today. At Olympia, the aeronautics camp will help guide campers with a passion for flying machines on the path to someday becoming pilots or working at places like NASA or Canada’s Space Arm. STEM programs guide campers into discovering their future careers at a young age by partaking in various actives made in a fun simple way.
A recent research study shows that the aerospace industry is projected to take in more than 2 million employees over a period of the next 20 years which is why it is important for your son or daughter to be introduced to aeronautics in Olympia’s fun learning environment.

Which of you can claim, as I can, to have landed on Matekane Airport in Lesotho. The runway is 400 meters long and the straight down drop at the end of the runway is 600 meters down a cliff. This was all made a bit more exiting as the pilot, who smelled very heavily of the local fermented maize drink when he arrived three hours late and the co pilot during this time was siphoning some fuel out of a 44 gallon drum with an old hosepipe to fill up the plane. The last straw, after two failed attempts to take off, was the pilot admitting to the only passenger – me – that he does not fully understand the Russian plane. Never the less, we took off from Maseru and landed “safely” at Matekane. Needless to say, I took a donkey taxi down the mountain back to Maseru – taking all of two days.


In this lesson you will learn about the further development of Facebook and innovations it brings in its desire to connect the world.
The completion of this lesson will take you about 30 minutes.
So, how has it all been progressing?
Having grown from a local network designed to connect university students into the service used by more than 1 billion people worldwide, Facebook has never stopped taking up new challenges to progress towards technologically advanced future.
One of its greatest missions has been internet provision to the remotest parts of the world and you can read about it in more detail below from the accounts of Facebook engineers:
Read these 2 parts of the text and do the vocabulary exercises after:
Today 1.6 billion people live in regions that don't have access to a mobile broadband network. Connecting these remote parts of the world with existing technologies such as buried optical fiber or microwave links on towers is often cost-prohibitive . As part of our commitment to Internet.org, the Facebook Connectivity Lab is developing many new technologies to bring affordable internet access to more people, more quickly. One of the technologies we are building is a fleet of solar-powered aircraft called Aquila. Once they are fully operational, these high-altitude planes will stay airborne for up to 90 days at a time and beam broadband coverage to a 60-mile-wide area on the ground, helping to open the opportunities of the internet to people in underconnected regions.
After several months of flying scale models, our team has reached an important milestone: We successfully completed the first full-scale test flight. The low-altitude test flight lasted for 96 minutes — more than three times our planned mission length — and provided our aeronautics team with data on numerous aspects of Aquila's performance, including the autopilot, motors, batteries, radios, ground station, displays, basic aerodynamic handling, structural viability , and crew training.
As we move toward the next phase of testing Aquila, we face a variety of unique challenges. Put simply, this has not been done before. Almost everything about Aquila — from remaining airborne for months at a time to transmitting wireless signal between other aircraft and the ground — will require continued advances in science, engineering, and design.
- Challenge #1 — Getting enough sun. For a solar-powered airplane to work, enough energy must be collected during daylight hours to operate for the full 24-hour day. During the winter, the solar panels must be able to collect enough energy during the short days to keep the batteries charged over the long nights, up to 14 hours at a time.
- Challenge #2 — Batteries. Keeping the airplane aloft on a long winter night requires a lot of stored energy. Given current and projected battery performance, that means batteries will account for roughly half the mass of the airplane. We're pushing the edge of high energy-density batteries while exploring the best designs to ensure we have enough resilience in the system.
- Challenge #3 — Size and speed. Aquila has a wingspan comparable to a commercial airliner's but weighs only one-third as much as a car. This ratio of weight to surface area means that Aquila is able to fly much slower than a typical airplane of the same size. Such stark differences challenge many of the assumptions relied upon in aeronautical engineering. There is little to no precedent to guide us as we continue to optimize Aquila's performance.
- Challenge #4 — New cost paradigms. For Aquila to succeed, it needs to be an economically viable alternative to current network infrastructure. We need to develop more efficient onboard power and communication systems; ensure the aircraft are resilient to structural damage to reduce maintenance costs, and able to stay aloft for long periods of time to keep fleet numbers low; and minimize the amount of human supervision associated with their operation. We're working with the industry on ways to accelerate the development of new technologies that can drastically change the economics of deploying internet infrastructure.
Over the next year we're going to keep testing Aquila -- flying higher and longer, and adding more planes and payloads. It's all part of our mission to connect the world and help more of the 4 billion people who are not online access all the opportunities of the internet.

That time we got invited to fly over Manila with AirTaxi. I mean- what a moment. Never in a million years did I ever think I’d get to sit on a private plane, or sit on the cockpit and have a mini photoshoot sesh. I mean WOW. Naturally, I took out my camera and started documenting the experience. We actually did a little shoot for Air Taxi as a favor to my friend. We flew over from Manila to Clark and back in a span of minutes. Traffic? What’s that?? Check out the photos below! Enjoy!
Thanks to Air Taxi for the experience!


The Eagle has Landed
The Eagle has Landed... is a 6 minute through-composed work for brass quartet written for the 2019 A4 Brass Composition Competition, which it was awarded 2nd place and premiered by the quartet. The composition describes the moments leading up to the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969 commanded by Neil Armstrong and pilot Buzz Aldrin.
Millions of people around the world viewed the launch of Apollo 11 on television. The launch was a global event. About two hours after leaving Earth the Lunar Command and Landing Modules separated from the main rocket. 3 days later the crew entered Lunar Orbit (A day later the Landing section or Apollo Lunar Module separated from the command module. As the descent began, Armstrong and Aldrin found that they were passing landmarks on the surface two or three seconds early, and reported that they were "long"; they would land miles west of their target point. Eagle was traveling too fast, eventually Armstrong found an alternative landing point. During the landing there were several problems with the mission computer and to avoid a crash Armstrong had to take manual control of the landing craft. They eventually landed with only 25 seconds of fuel left. Armstrong acknowledged Aldrin's completion of the post landing checklist with "Engine arm is off", before responding to the CAPCOM, Charles Duke, with the words, "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed."

In 1961, NASA aircraft tester Neil Armstrong is flying the X-15 rocket-controlled spaceplane when it incidentally ricochets off the air. In spite of the fact that he figures out how to set down the plane in the Mojave Desert, his partners express worry that his ongoing record of incidents is because of interruption.
His 30-month-old girl, Karen, is going through treatment for a mind tumor. Frantic to spare her, Armstrong keeps an itemized log of her side effects and explores potential medicines, yet she bites the dust soon a short time later. Pain stricken, and suspecting he has been grounded, Armstrong applies for Project Gemini and is acknowledged to NASA Astronaut Group 2.
With his better half Janet, and their child Rick, Armstrong moves to Houston close by other space explorer families. He gets to know Elliot See, another regular citizen aircraft tester, and Ed White. As Armstrong starts preparing, Deke Slayton puts forth for the new space explorers the significance of the Gemini program, as the Soviet Union had arrived at each achievement in the Space Race in front of the United States. Armstrong and Janet have a subsequent child, Mark.
In 1965, after the Soviets complete the first extravehicular movement (EVA), Armstrong is educated that he will order Gemini 8, with David Scott as the pilot. Before the mission, See and Charles Bassett are executed in a T-38 accident, extending Armstrong’s sorrow at the line of ongoing misfortunes.
Armstrong and Scott effectively dispatch on Gemini 8 and dock with the Agena target vehicle, however soon thereafter, a breakdown makes the shuttle move at an inexorably perilous rate. After almost passing out, Armstrong actuates the RCS engines and securely prematurely ends the mission. He at first faces analysis, however NASA decides the team isn’t to blame……

When I first started blogging I “attended” a useful Blogging 101 course run by WordPress. I got to know some great people and bloggers from around the world and became friends with some of them. John Steiner is one such friend. He writes on his blog PhotobyJohnbo.
It is, as he calls it, some reflections on places traveled and photos taken or simply Journeys With Johnbo.
John recently reviewed my book, Undercover: Operation Julie – The Inside Story, after he won a free signed copy in a competition I ran here. He also asked me to provide him with a guest post. I obliged.
One of John’s great passions is flying and here he tells us all about it. Enjoy!
But I Digress… Always Vigilant
Fargo, North Dakota.
Since my first flights as a youth in the 1960s, I’ve been interested in aviation. Our family didn’t have a lot of money, certainly none to be wasted on expensive aviation fuel, but a couple of lucky occurrences got me in the air at no cost to me.
Throughout my careers in electronics and education, and with the demands of raising a family, aviation was on my back burner. There was the occasional air show and business related trips, but other than that, I didn’t indulge in any activity that got me into the proximity of an airport.
Then 1996 happened, and a local airport had a fly-in, the aviation equivalent of a classic car get-together. I decided to take a helicopter ride and I was hooked. I had to do something about this “flying thing.” A few weeks later, I was at a flight school in Fargo asking about what I needed to learn to fly. I connected with a flight instructor who happened to also fly for the Civil Air Patrol (CAP). Before then, I was totally unaware such an organization existed. Shortly after getting my shiny new pilot’s license, I joined CAP. My first training flight is now over two decades ago, and in October of this year, I become a 20-year member of CAP.
Since its formation in 1941, CAP has performed admirably as an all-volunteer civilian aviation organization. Sometime after its inception, it became an auxiliary of the United States Air Force and today, when assigned an Air Force activity or mission, CAP is a non-combatant part of the Air Force “Total Force” concept. CAP’s motto is “Always Vigilant”. CAP volunteers around the country are ready to assist in many service missions. CAP members are not aerial warriors, indeed members are constrained by law from any law enforcement or surveillance missions of any kind.
As a service auxiliary to the U.S. Air Force, CAP provided me with connections to both the aviation and military communities that I’d never imagined. Though several of my family members served in the military, I didn’t have the opportunity to serve. CAP gave me an outlet and a purpose as a middle-aged man to provide a volunteer service to my country. As a bonus, I have the opportunity to fly and ride in airplanes while performing that service.
CAP has three major missions; Aerospace Education, Cadet Programs and Emergency Services. For the bulk of my two decades in CAP, I’ve focused on Emergency Services as a specialty. At any time, CAP could be called upon to assist in a search and rescue mission or in some form of disaster relief. I have been directly involved either as a flight crew member or as staff on a mission base in searching for missing persons or tracking the route an overdue aircraft. Most often, however, I assist in damage assessment in spring flooding along one of our many rivers in North Dakota.
Typical assessment missions include flying along major tributaries in the state capturing photos of specific areas requested by our state’s Division of Emergency Services. The results of CAP flights help them in planning and deployment of resources to mitigate potential flood damage. The image above shows the small town of Oxbow, ND was in serious trouble during the 2010 Red River flood.
The Red River is the border marker between North Dakota and Minnesota. In the spring, the rivers fill up with runoff from the snow that melted in the fields. When the river fills, there is no place for the snow melt to go, so it covers the landscape threatening farms and communities in a phenomenon called overland flooding. In 2010, this was a view of the overland flooding that surrounded the Red River north and east of Fargo, ND. The river itself normally winds its way along the tree-lined river bed near the top of the photo. The highway next to the train tracks in the center of the image is U.S. 75.
A major area of concern during flood season in North Dakota is the many earthen dams. In 2010, this dam near Absaraka, North Dakota had a damaged and eroded spillway due to the high water behind the dam. Normally, a spillway should have a relatively smooth surface. The rough appearance is caused by erosion of the spillway bed. Photos captured during this mission were instrumental in determining that major work would need to be done to ensure the spillway didn’t completely erode causing the dam to fail. In a short time, this area was filled with construction equipment as they worked to build a temporary repair.
Another area of concern is ice damming. As the river ice breaks up, it flows along the surface and the high water level causes ice to back up against lower clearance bridges. The rising water behind the ice dam creates extra hazards for the property upstream of the blockage. State workers are dispatched with an excavator with a large bucket to pluck the ice from the edge of the bridge and pile it where it can melt into the downstream side of the river.
As part of the CAP Aerospace Education mission, cadets between the ages of 12 and 18 are provided with orientation rides in both powered aircraft and gliders. The flights are specifically NOT flight instruction, but a curriculum is defined that teaches the cadets about the aerodynamics of flight in a real world laboratory at least 1,000 ft (305 m) above ground level.
Gliders are also used to capitalize on their two major advantages. A glider experiences total aerodynamics effects without the influence of an engine and propeller. It helps that glider rides are much less expensive than powered flight, even including the expense of a powered plane towing the glider to altitude. More flights can be given per cadet due to the lower cost of glider flight. In the image above, a cadet orientation glider pilot is flying solo, meeting currency requirements for carrying a passenger. As you can see by the presence of the tow rope on the nose of the glider, he is just taking off on one of the required three solo take-offs and landings to meet currency.
I have flown a glider solo, and even though I have over 60 glider flights in my logbook, I found that I prefer to fly the tow plane. This image of a gilder on tow was captured with a camera mounted in the back window of the tow plane. In a given day, I can log 10 to 20 take-offs and landings in the powered plane in short 10 to 15 minute flights. Once the glider is airborne and released, I return to the airport and wait for the glider to land. Gliders are very efficient flying machines and it’s not uncommon for there to be a 20 to 30 minute or longer wait after I land before the glider returns for another trip.
In the meantime, I can relax on a nice summer day, maybe grab a burger, chat with the ground crews and await the return of the glider for another flight.
If you happen to be flying along in your little Cessna 4-place airplane, and one of these pulls up along beside you; that will be the first sign you are in trouble. The U.S. Air Force and National Guard have to be ready to interdict aircraft that stumble into protected airspace, inadvertently or on purpose. Fighter jets aren’t designed to fly at the slower speeds of small private aircraft and the military pilots need training in procedures and techniques for interdiction. CAP aircraft and pilots are called upon to help with that training. I was along on one such mission.
Our role was to fly into a pretend restricted airspace and to further pretend that our radio was either turned off or inoperative. When we flew into that “protected space”, two fighter jets were dispatched toward Fargo from Duluth, Minnesota, about 220 miles (356 km) away. In only a few minutes, an F-16 appeared off our left wing and started making slow speed circles around our aircraft.
As we proceeded, the other F-16 pilot stayed “at our six”; well behind us, obviously readying to fire those (hopefully) unarmed “missiles” aimed in our direction. Pilots in the U.S. have been given procedures to follow should they become intercepted. Basically, the procedure is to land at the nearest airport where authorities will be waiting. Failure to comply could be quite hazardous to your health.
By providing a target, CAP assists these military pilots in practicing the interdiction procedures while flying at their aircraft’s minimum safe flying speed. The high nose-up attitude of the fighter in the image indicates the slow speed at which he is flying. Though it looks in the image like we are nose up as well, we are not. We are flying straight and level at our maximum cruise speed.
Some of CAPs most recent missions involve the latest technology Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). The small camera systems are being integrated into search missions for accessing search areas inaccessible by ground and not easily visible by large manned aircraft. CAP is also involved in research and assistance in integrating the larger UAS aircraft into the national airspace system.
Last summer, in North Dakota, several CAP aircraft and 32 members of our wing were involved in an agricultural research project. CAP aircrews followed a large unmanned aircraft as it flew through public airspace. In the image above, professional pilots fly the UAS. Once out of sight from the ground, the UAS presents a limited forward view to the pilots on a small monitor. At all times when the UAS is out of visual range from the ground, a CAP plane follows from behind and below while in full communication with the UAS pilots in case the UAS must be maneuvered to avoid other aircraft in public airspace.
These days, I don’t get as much flying in as I used to. I have taken on a new volunteer job for CAP as the Wing Commander for North Dakota Wing. In this role, taken on almost a year ago, I’m responsible for providing leadership and direction to the 150+ adult and almost 70 cadet members. Our state has a small wing with only 7 aircraft and 9 squadrons. CAP membership nationwide is around 55,000, with access to over 550 aircraft; the largest fleet of single engine aircraft in the world. CAP members are “Always Vigilant” and ready to serve in any capacity in which we are called.

That was a fascinating insight into to work of the CAP, John, and I am certain all your fellow citizens are grateful to you and all the other volunteers who operate such a valuable service.
John’s post first appeared on his blog on February 27, 2017.
I was a little surprised to find there are many books on flying lessons on Amazon.

Pilot takes employers to employment tribunal after dismissal threat for refusing to fly whilst fatigued
A Thomas Cook airline captain who took his employers to an employment tribunal, has won his case and accepted an apology from the company.
Captain Mike Simkins, who’s from the UK, was suspended for six months by Thomas Cook Airlines and threatened with dismissal for refusing to fly the Boeing 767 due to fatigue.
Mr Simkins took the company to an employment tribunal after being threatened with dismissal and won his case.
Mr Simkins is a member of the British Airline Pilots’ Association (BALPA), who said that Mr Simkins refused to fly “after three extremely early starts in a row, including one 18-hour day, and what would have been a 19-hour day to follow.”
BALPA said that Thomas Cook’s fatigue monitoring system revealed that due to the number of duties Mr Simkins had already carried out, if he had taken the flight he refused, he would have landed and his performance loss would have been estimated to being something similiar to that of a person four times over the legal alcohol flying limit.
Head of flight safety for BALPA, Rob Hunter, said: “Not only is it reasonable to refuse to fly when fatigued, it is absolutely necessary.”
It is against the law for a pilot to operate an aeroplane whilst suffering from fatigue, or feels that they may become fatigued.
According to Mr Hunter, Captain Simkins ought to have been applauded by Thomas Cook for informing them of his fatigue, rather than disciplined.

Drone / UAS Review, Photography, Video!
So, flying drones is quite a bit different than developing software or security services, however everyone must have something outside the normal business they enjoy. Flying is mine. I have a part 61 & 107 certificate from the FAA and I love flying my UAS!
If you are needing some aerial review, photography and/or video I would love to fly & help you out.
Also, if you are in Kentucky and need a realtor, using the West Group Realtors will qualify you to get free aerial photography and video from myself!


On Wednesday, January 9th, the North Jersey Astronomical Group (NJAG) is offering a free film about Saturn at Montclair State University.
The January meeting of North Jersey Astronomical Group(NJAG) will feature a new 20 minute long NASA film "Ring World: The Story of Cassini." This film is an update on the Cassini spacecraft's spectacular mission to Saturn.
In 1997 NASA launched Cassini, one of the largest and most sophisticated planetary spacecraft ever constructed. This new NASA documentary covers this amazing adventure of discovery that involved more than 18 nations, stretching more than a billion miles into the outer solar system, to study, in unprecedented and vivid detail, one of the most revered celestial objects known, the mighty planet Saturn. From its distinctive rings and exotic moons, to its spectacular weather systems, Saturn is a world of both stunning beauty and confounding mystery. The Cassini mission has been our eyes and our ears in exploring this fascinating Ringworld.
Monthly meetings of the NJAG are free and open to the public - all are welcomed; light refreshments will be served. Meetings are held on the second Wednesday of the month (except August), unless noted. Meetings begin at 8:00 p.m. in Richardson Hall, Room 232 at Montclair State University. For more information and directions, see our website at www.njastro.org.

Tim Hunter - Soaring high
Tim Hunter always wanted to fly and fly high he did, not only in airplanes but in a 40-plus year tourism and aviation career.
Raised in Dunedin, the son of an Otago University Professor of Medicine, Tim went to boarding school at 11, first Waihi, then Christ’s College.
He loved the outdoors, tramping, rock climbing, kayaking and mountaineering, as an instructor for the College’s fifth form Venture Group.
“I’d always loved aircraft and wanted to become a licenced aircraft engineer, but my father insisted that university come first. When I got there, I got a job in a gas station and secretly started learning to fly.” Working weekends funded flying lessons, just $22 an hour with an instructor and $11 solo. By his second year at uni he had his private pilot’s licence, his father by now well aware he’d lost the battle.
Clocking up his flying hours in Auckland while working on the ground for Air New Zealand, Tim gained his commercial pilot’s licence and multi-engine ratings in 1982.
His dad was right in one respect. A BA Honours in Economics got him into Air NZ’s graduate training programme, from where he advanced to the airline’s planning division, specialising in route planning and budgeting.
During restructuring in 1984, Tim took leave without pay and worked for Aviation Corporation, agents for Beechcraft aircraft, selling aircraft for corporate travel and air ambulance work. “I was also involved in aircraft trading and got to fly in many different planes around NZ.” He sold 11 one year.
In 1984 Tim also moved to Wānaka to work for Aspiring Air, flying to Milford, Mount Aspiring and Mount Cook, including “the goose count” for the Department of Internal Affairs. “We flew at low level down high-country valleys with an observer from the Department who counted the geese,” he grins.
Returning from a 1980s air ambulance flight to Dunedin, he landed at Cromwell to drop the nurse to the hospital. “I saw two hitchhikers on the roadside waving a ‘to Wanaka’ sign so I beckoned them over and had them in Wānaka in less than 10 minutes.
“Pete and Cindy from San Francisco sent me a postcard addressed ‘Tim the Pilot, Lake Wanaka, New Zealand’ and it got to me. They dined out on that story for years.”
Turned down as an Air NZ commercial pilot because he wore glasses, Tim joined Mount Cook Group as planning executive, moving through to top management roles over 14 years. This included management of the Mount Cook Landline’s national fleet of 150 buses. By 1997, he was group marketing manager. “It was a fantastic company to work for.”
He then became NZ Tourism Board regional manager for USA and Europe, later general manager – operations. Based in Wellington, he managed the board’s 13 overseas offices and directed the trade marketing programmes. He was on the executive team that developed the 100% Pure NZ campaign in 2000. It was a big success, with NZ tourism later boosted greatly by The Lord of the Rings trilogy and the America’s Cup.
There was much air travel, although Tim wasn’t at the controls for what was probably his most hair-raising flight. He was a passenger on a Aerolineaous 747 flight from Argentina to New York which got caught in a massive lightning storm lasting over an hour.
“I really thought I might meet my maker that day.” The pilot tried to fly around the storm but couldn’t so flew through it. “The inside of the plane was lit up with continuous blue light. The plane was rolling and shaking and there was a lot of screaming. The captain came down the spiral staircase after the storm to a nearby galley and chained smoked about two packets of cigarettes. God bless the 747!”
Two months before the 2011 Christchurch earthquake, Tim became CEO of Christchurch Canterbury Tourism, expecting to be promoting a vibrant city and region. However, after the earthquake he found himself on national TV urging people not to visit the city. “That role was my biggest challenge. Christchurch was seriously broken, and we had to do all we could to keep our main visitor attractions operating and re-establish core services.”
He’s just finished seven years as boss of Southern Discoveries in Queenstown, where he had supportive owners, a focused management team and strong sense of purpose. “I’m very proud of what we’ve achieved.”
While he’s technically retired, Tim’s still finishing a few projects for Southern Discoveries and remains on the Milford Sound Tourism Board and is a Dunedin Airport director.
A keen road cyclist he’s looking forward to more of that, time with wife of 37 years Jane, and their three adult children, while also enjoying fishing from his holiday house in Twizel.


The aerospace sector requires quality and precision in every part. Precision Waterjet & Laser offers stands apart from our competitors with extensive end-to-end manufacturing capabilities. We combine state-of-the-art cutting and metal fabrication technologies with decades of experience on aerospace projects, ensuring that we exceed all expectations for quality and customer service on every order.
Our aerospace expertise is second-to-none. We have worked with NASA, SpaceX, JPL, Lockheed Martin, and other aerospace OEMs and defense contractors of all sizes to provide accurate and reliable components used in advanced aerospace equipment. Our commitment to quality is part of our culture, as evidenced by our AS9100D with ISO 9001:2015 certification.
Many manufacturers must outsource pieces of their projects due to a lack of in-house capabilities. At Precision Waterjet & Laser, we are much more than a simple waterjet shop. With a fully capable machine shop and an advanced equipment portfolio, we can meet your project needs quicker. This grants us full control over the final quality of every part we produce and enables us to offer turnkey manufacturing solutions even on complex aerospace projects.
Our capabilities for the aerospace sector include:
Waterjet cutting has been a core competency since our inception, and we frequently add to our equipment portfolio to keep pace with the industry needs. We can cut materials from 0.001” to 12” in thickness, and our machines use a work envelope of 0.060” to 160” in diameter and width, 0.060” to 320” in length, and create edge finishes in the 1 to 5 range. All waterjet cutting tolerances are within ±0.005”. Our waterjet cutting capabilities can accommodate volumes ranging from single prototypes to long-term blanket orders.
As one of our primary specialties, we use high-powered CO2 lasers that feature 4400 kW of power, flying optics, and the ability to cut at 2, 3, or 5 axes. Our laser cutters can accommodate workpieces up to 80” by 160” with diameters up to 80”. We can achieve tolerances of ±0.002” on any material up to 1” in thickness.
Drilling and Milling
Our equipment portfolio includes a number of advanced computer numerical control (CNC) machining systems, including five vertical mills, one horizontal mill, and a precision lathe. We can achieve ±0.0005” tolerances for straightness, concentricity, and diameter, and ±0.001” on lengths over 24”. We can machine almost any ferrous or non-ferrous metal, plastics and polymers, glass, ceramics, composites, quartz, and wood. With a lifting capacity of 10,000 lbs., work envelopes up to 64” by 32” by 30” for milling, and work envelopes of 16” in length and 23” in diameter for turning, we can handle nearly any machining project.
Sheet Metal Fabrication
We offer an extensive array of sheet metal fabrication capabilities from our fully equipped machine shop, including metal stamping, punching, forming, bending, and AWS-certified welding. Our experienced machinists and engineers can provide rapid prototypes, streamlined designs, and large-scale production runs. With our experienced staff and state-of-the-art equipment, we can handle any metal fabrication project need.
We offer a comprehensive range of in-house finishing capabilities, such as:
- Black oxide coating
- Cadmium plating
- Chemical film coating
- Chromate conversion coating
- Chrome plating
- Heat treating
- Nickel plating
- Passivating and cleaning
- Powder coating
- Solid dry film lubrication
- Zinc plating
Applications for Aerospace
Many manufacturers make generic claims about their capabilities for manufacturing aerospace parts and components. At Precision Waterjet & Laser, we can demonstrate our advanced capabilities through our extensive portfolio of completed projects. Here are some examples:
- Bomber parts. We fabricated components for a defense contractor that were used in the wing of a military bomber plane to facilitate the controlled release of a bomb.
- Our team manufactured structural gusset plates for use in the airframe of military aircraft. The gusset required us to fill, form, and prime it by hand.
- Security panels. We developed and fabricated explosion-proof panels for use by an airline security firm.
We can create full designs using sketches and templates, or we can reverse engineer a design from a previously completed part. Through any design and development process, we offer suggestions for improvement along the way.
We have the certifications, the state-of-the-art machinery, and the experienced team necessary to support any aerospace project.


I’m not known for overt sentimentality, but watching the TV coverage of the last Space Shuttle returning to earth last Thursday morning was one of the saddest moments I can recall. Once Atlantis touched down it was all over; there would never be another Shuttle.
I’ve always had a penchant for all things space related. As a child I dreamt of space ships, aliens and far flung galaxies, religiously followed every NASA mission, and was glued to the TV screen each time a Shuttle rocketed into the sky or landed. I’d often wished to have been born some years earlier, to have witnessed the thrill of watching Neil Armstrong step onto the moon. (Undoubtedly influenced by my dad’s recollection of that incredible event as one of the most memorable of his lifetime). It didn’t matter that we were in the then Eastern Bloc; we watched the various US advances into space with awe and pride, just as millions of Americans did. It was yet another milestone for Western civilization and human achievement. The greatest of human adventures.
I was convinced some years later we’d get to Mars and beyond. Alas, it was not to be. I suppose it’s fitting that all this is over now. The US (and the West) have given up. The end of manned space flight is just one more symptom of the cultural, moral and economic decline.
The space program was an expression of the energetic, vigorous, optimistic, united America of the late 1950s. It symbolized the country’s ambitions, aspirations and hopes for a better future, its belief that Americans can achieve great things and do them better than anyone else. All that is history now. Today’s America lacks a sense of identity and vision, its confidence is on the wane, exceptionalism has become a nasty word, unity has been replaced by tribal rancor, idealism and pioneer spirit are long gone, substituted by all-pervasive bureaucracy and political correctness.
Is it surprising that instead of reaching out to the stars manned space flight is returning to where it started – science fiction?
The landing of Atlantis ended the 30-year Space Shuttle program. The entire US space age lasted just five decades: it was May 5, 1961 when Alan Shepard’s 15 minute sub-orbital flight made him the first American in space. Just eight years later Apollo 11 blasted off for the Moon.
The Space Shuttle fleet began setting records with Columbia’s launch on April 12, 1981 and continued with Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavor. The Shuttle has, during its 135 missions, carried people into orbit, launched and repaired satellites, conducted cutting-edge research and built the largest structure in space, the International Space Station. One of its key successes was the deployment of the Hubble Space Telescope (launched into space aboard Space Shuttle Discovery in 1990); the Shuttle and its astronauts were also crucial for each repair and servicing Hubble needed over the years. (Hubble, aside of giving us hundreds of thousands of awesome images, has revolutionized our knowledge of astronomy.)
Countless technological innovations we take for granted today are also result of the US space program and Shuttle research. The Space Shuttle program alone has generated more than 120 technology spinoffs, including miniaturized heart pumps that save lives, thermal protection system materials, bioreactors (help chemists design new drugs and antibodies), compact laboratory instruments, sensitive hand-held infrared cameras, light-emitting diodes for treatment of cancerous tumors, lighter and stronger prosthetic limbs, an extrication tool to remove accident victims from wrecked vehicles, and many more. (NASA has an entire website dedicated to spinoff technology.)
Now the Shuttle is gone and there is nothing to take its place. The US no longer has the ability to put astronauts into orbit. NASA will have to rely on the Russians to hitch a ride to the International Space Station – on the old-fashioned Soyuz spacecraft, at some $50 million per ride.
It wasn’t supposed to end like this. A few years ago George W. Bush announced the return to manned space exploration with the Constellation program. Missions to the Moon (by 2020) were to be followed by a manned flight to Mars and beyond. Then came Barack Obama who, believing in social programs and wealth redistribution rather than science and exploration, promptly cancelled Constellation, the country’s only chance at continuing with human space flight.
In any case the space program no longer seems appropriate for today’s America. Space exploration was a symbol and inspiration for Americans who believed in excellence, courage, self-reliance, achievement, science (hard science, not the politically correct pseudo-science of today). That country no longer exists; its spirit has been broken. The “virtues” America, and the West, worship today – equality, diversity, feminism – are a fast-track to a third world status, not to the stars.
As much as we may want to convince ourselves otherwise, it seems clear we no longer have the ability to achieve great things, space flight or otherwise. I suspect Bruce Charlton is onto something when he writes that “human capability reached its peak or plateau around 1965-75 – at the time of the Apollo moon landings – and has been declining ever since”.
“This may sound bizarre or just plain false, but the argument is simple. That landing of men on the moon and bringing them back alive was the supreme achievement of human capability, the most difficult problem ever solved by humans. 40 years ago we could do it – repeatedly – but since then we have *not* been to the moon, and I suggest the real reason we have not been to the moon since 1972 is that we cannot any longer do it. Humans have lost the capability. “
The US space program started on its downward trajectory in the early 70s, slowly drifting away from further development of deep space missions and new technologies. (The Shuttle itself is 1970s technology and should have been replaced by a new generation of spaceships years ago.) NASA has been gradually taken over by technologically and managerially inept bureaucrats lacking any vision and imagination. Instead of attracting the brightest engineers, scientists and innovators, the agency has cared more about politics and displaying its commitment to ‘diversity’. Well, at least now that manned space flight is no longer, NASA can work on its preferred mission – Muslim outreach.
Those who claim the US could no longer afford its space program would be well advised to look at the actual NASA budget. While during most of the 1960s NASA spending came to between 2-5% of the annual federal budget, since mid 70s it’s been less than 1% and in the last few years only about 0.50% of the federal budget ($17-18 billion p.a.).
So you can’t afford to spend a minuscule share of the annual fed budget – one half of one percent! – on space exploration, but consider it a good use of money to waste a couple of trillions on entitlements and welfare programs and $700 billion on stifling bureaucracies (i.e. various executive departments and agencies, most of which would serve the nation best by being abolished)? Not to forget the estimated $3 trillion cost of ObamaCare.
And what about the supposedly too expensive Space Shuttle program itself? The total cost of the Shuttle program over its entire four decade lifespan (including 10 years of R&D) was just under $200 billion. Expensive? Well, the US federal government, at present rate, spends $200 billion every three weeks!
I don’t see anything that has brought taxpayers a comparable return in industrial and technological advancement, increased understanding of our world and universe, as well as prestige, pride and inspiration as the manned space program.
But this isn’t about money or savings… it’s about a nation’s priorities. An America that spends trillions of dollars a year on welfare, entitlements and bureaucracy is an America that lacks any purpose, identity or belief in future; a space program is something such a nation has no use for.
Mankind has always felt the call to explore and push back the boundaries of human capability. I have no doubt there were people in Columbus’s day who wanted to find a ‘better’ use for the money that was to finance his voyages. Thankfully King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain had more vision and sense than Barack Obama.
We can only hope that a more enlightened people, perhaps the Chinese or Russians or Indians, are going to take over space exploration and become a beacon of hope and inspiration to those in the rest of the world, as America once used to be.
Thank you, Space Shuttle, for all the memories.

Drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) were originally developed exclusively for military purposes. However, as the technology developed within military environment, this past century innovation transited into civilian business and found its usefulness in recreational and commercial market.
Use of drones in the UK
Drones are having a positive effect on well-being of society and growth of economy. Beside their recreational use, where they have introduced communities to a fun and rewarding hobby, drones are increasingly being used in construction industry, medical and emergency service provision and logistic support. Amazon has already successfully trialled the use of drones to deliver goods in the UK in 2016. Metropolitan Police are in preparation to deploy drones to monitor road users and NHS is also exploring option to use drones for emergency services for conducting missions which were previously unsafe or not possible and to enable them to respond quicker to incidents. A recent report by PwC estimates that by 2030, there could be: £42 billion increase in UK gross domestic product (GDP); £16 billion in net cost savings to the UK economy; 76,000 drones operating in the UK’s skies and 628,000 jobs in the drone’s economy.
This all sounds very impressive however; like any vehicle, drones can sometimes get out of hands. Drones have capacity to carry items and can be installed with cameras and GPS units which can turn them into self-flying tools.
Although personal injury claims caused by use of drones have not inundated the UK court system yet, but as of an estimate there were around 90,000 drone users in the UK by November 2019. These numbers are increasing and so is the risk to public lives and safety. A malfunctioning or negligently operated drone can cause serious accidents and severe bodily injuries.
Damages caused by drones
If a drone comes in to a direct collision with a human it can cause a wide variety of injuries ranging from bruises, laceration and broken bones to loss of eye and auricle depending on its momentum and angle of contact. A drone can also cause damage without even making a direct contact with people and property itself; for example, it can cause damage by dropping delivery goods from a height, provoke a road traffic collision due to distraction caused by it becoming too close to the road users, crashing into power lines and interfering with other air traffic particularly, commercial air crafts etc.
Although, laws are being introduced to regularise the use of drone to protect lives but it can be predicted that, with an increased use of drones in our daily lives, personal injury claims resulting of use of drones will become more common in future.
Relevant legislation concerning the operation of drones are contained primarily in the Civil Aviation Act 1982 and the Air Navigation Order 2016, as amended in 2018. Detailed guidance is also set out in the Civil Aviation Authority’s Unmanned Aircraft System Operations in UK Airspace. Breaches of these aviation laws are criminal offenses, enforced by the CAA.
A drone user has a responsibility for flying their drone in a safe manner. Briefly speaking; the drone users should keep their drones in their direct sight so as to ensure that it does not collide with anything, especially other aircraft; the drone users must not endanger anyone, or anything, with their drones, including any articles that they drop from it; they should not fly more than 400ft above the surface; and they should not fly within the 5km Flight Restriction Zone of a protected aerodrome.
If a drone user wishes to operate outside the limits as set by these restrictions, they must obtain commercial operating permission granted by the CAA. This permission involves demonstration of remote pilot competence and a sufficient understanding of aviation theory, as well as completion of a practical flight examination and preparation of an Operations Manual.
UK law distinguishes between the operator of the drone and its pilot/flyer. The operator is the person who has the “management” of (ie is responsible for) the drone. This is usually the person who owns it. The pilot or flyer is the person who operates the flight controls. Often, the operator and pilot are the same person but there can be some exceptions. Restrictions apply to both; to the operator (who must not permit the drone to be flown in a certain way), and the pilot (who must not fly it in that way).
From 30 November 2019, all drones weighing between 250g and 20kg (which encompasses virtually all but the smallest toys) must be registered and labelled with a unique licence number. Anyone who wants to fly must get a flyer ID from the CAA and the person that’s responsible for the drone or model aircraft must register to get an operator ID. If you’ll fly your own drone or model aircraft, you’ll need to register and take the test to get both IDs. Or you can just get the ID you need.
The operator is responsible for making sure that only people with a valid flyer ID use their drone or model aircraft.
They must label their drones and model aircraft with their operator ID.
Public liability and entitlement of compensation
Commercial use/liability for accidents falls into a legal grey area. There are some well known protocols designed to deal with personal injury claim arising out of road traffic accident, uninsured/untraced motor vehicles, employer, public or occupiers liability however, so far so there has been no specific mechanism or protocol designed to deal with claims arising out of use of drones within the civil procedure rules.
A critical review of aforementioned CAA Act and the related regulations reveals that they share the essence of the Highway Code for roads.
Keeping and operating a drone is like driving a vehicle or machinery on public land. A flyer (or in some circumstances, the operator, if flyer is a child, for example) would owe a duty of care to public and therefore, would be primarily responsible for the accidents caused by his negligence or drone being going out of control.
Most operators of drones that weigh over 20 kg are required to obtain adequate levels of insurance to cover their liability in case of an accident. However, for drones weighing less than 20 kg this is optional and accordingly, exposes the flyer/operator of such UAV to substantial financial liability risks.
In the event an accident is caused by a drone the starting point is to identify its flyer or operator with reference to its unique license number. At present drones have to be grounded to identify their owners, but in future it could be done remotely or while drones are in the air. Some models already have transmitters that would enable that. Once an operator has been identified a claim can be brought forward against the tortfeasor under the Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury claims and subsequently, disputed claims can be progressed under the provisions of Civil Procedure Rules or specific court direction.


I will present a paper on this subject at
ASNE Day 2015: Engineering America’s Maritime Dominance

Military Jet Boats Now Dominant, but Not Sustainable
Valued for their high speed capability and shallow draft, marine jets beat out propellers as the dominant propulsion in commercial and military craft, even though jets consume more fuel at lower speeds. Yet lower speeds are where they spend most of their time.
Automotive and Aircraft Technologies to the Rescue
By incorporating technology from modern aircraft and cars, jet boats can be much more fuel efficient at low and mid-range speeds without sacrificing high-speed capability or the other operational advantages of current technology.
Simulation Saves Time and Money.
My technical paper and presentation also demonstrate the incorporation of variable geometry and electronic controls in computer simulations to test systems and accurately predict performance. The models developed in this process are directly useful in rapid prototyping.
The graphic above is an example of the development of a marine jet pump using computational fluid dynamics.
My technical paper details computer design and simulation methods, which allow fast, accurate and economical prediction of performance and fuel consumption in any operational profile. The process produces files for use with the latest part prototyping and pilot production methods.

Anacapa’s Airplane Wreck: TBF Avenger
It's 1944: two Navy bombers collide midair while participating in a training exercise over Anacapa Island. One goes down on the back side of the island and is never found. The other hits the ocean on the front side of middle Anacapa and sinks to the bottom. Between the two planes, three crewmen are killed.
The Grumman TBF Avenger came to its final resting place on a sandy bottom carpeted with brittle stars about 120 feet down.
Engineered in 1939 to replace the obsolete TBD Devastator bomber, the first Grumman TBF Avenger prototype flew in 1941, piloted by (as was customary at the time) its chief engineer, Bob Hall. The plane held three crewmen: the pilot, the turret gunner, and the radioman. It also had three guns: a .30 caliber machine gun in the nose and tail, and a .50 caliber machine gun in the turret. It could carry up to 2000 pounds of torpedoes or bombs. A bulkhead containing the massive vacuum tube radio equipment separated the pilot's section from the rest of the aircraft.
Although it had a wingspan over 50 feet, the Avenger had a revolutionary wing-folding mechanism that reduced its wingspan to 16 feet in order to maximize space on an aircraft carrier. The Avenger fleet became the U.S. Navy's primary torpedo bomber in World War II. Beginning in 1942, Grumman shifted focus to the F4F Wildcat, so General Motors began producing Avenger aircraft, redesignating them as TBM.
Diving the TBF Avenger Wreck
As it has been down for 70 years, not a lot of the TBF Avenger wreck remains. The tail has separated from the fuselage and the nose and cockpit are reduced to rubble. The wings lie flat against the sand, and the whole wreck is completely covered in brittle stars. We even joked that the brittle stars were holding it together, but it might not be that far from the truth.


Concorde had livery limits; many the surface area needed to be covered having a really reflective white paint in order to avoid overheating the aluminium construction resulting from heating results from supersonic flight at Mach two. The white finish decreased the skin temperature by 6 to eleven degrees Celsius. In 1996, Air France briefly painted F-BTSD inside of a predominantly blue livery, aside from the wings, within a marketing contend with Pepsi.
Concorde needed to fly extensive distances being economically feasible; this expected large efficiency with the powerplant. Turbofan engines were turned down due to their larger cross-portion creating too much drag.

In 1997, British Airways held a advertising contest to mark the tenth anniversary with the airline's move to the private sector.
Usually one particular hopes to provide the wing's centre of tension (CP, or "raise issue") close to the aircraft's centre of gravity (CG, or "equilibrium stage") to lessen the level of control power necessary to pitch the aircraft. Because the aircraft layout improvements during the design and style stage, it truly is widespread with the CG to move fore or aft. With a normal wing style and design This may be dealt with by transferring the wing slightly fore or aft to account for this.
Whilst subsonic commercial jets took eight hrs to fly from Ny to Paris, the average supersonic flight time within the transatlantic routes was just under 3.
The tyre exploded, and also a bit of rubber strike the gas tank, which brought about a gas leak and brought about a hearth. The crew shut down engine range 2 in response to a straight from the source fireplace warning, and with engine No 1 surging and creating minimal ability, the aircraft was not able to achieve altitude or speed. The aircraft entered a you could look here quick pitch-up then a violent descent, rolling left and crashing tail-minimal in to the Hôtelissimo Les Relais Bleus Lodge in Gonesse.

Together with providing air to the engine, the consumption also supplied air from the ramp bleed into the propelling nozzle. The nozzle ejector (or aerodynamic) style, with variable exit region and secondary stream through the intake, contributed to superior growth efficiency from consider-off to cruise.[one hundred]
By this time equivalent political and economic worries in France experienced brought about their particular SST designs. In the late nineteen fifties the government asked for styles from both the government-owned Sud Aviation and Nord Aviation, and also Dassault.[N 4] All 3 returned styles depending on Küchemann and Weber's slender delta; Nord proposed a ramjet driven layout flying at Mach 3, another two ended up jet run Mach 2 types that were comparable to one another.
 To keep the cabin cool, Concorde utilized the fuel like a warmth sink for the heat from your air-con. Precisely the same technique also cooled the hydraulics. Throughout supersonic flight the surfaces forward from your cockpit turned heated, in addition to a visor was accustomed to deflect much of the heat from specifically achieving the cockpit.
