Thank goodness no one was hurt. There have been a lot of close calls. Like when the Eye in the Sky flew into Plant 42’s airspace. That could have had a very sad ending.
Tim Scott says
Can’t really think of any. The eye in the sky couldn’t really do any damage at plant 42, and if it had been shot down or confiscated that would have been fine.
Flyguy says
Wrecks was so proud when he launched his precious Eye in the Sky. He invited a dozen or so cities and law enforcement agencies to its unveiling and pitched selling it to to them. To this day not a single taker. Gee, I wonder why?
Lancaster. Land of the Boondoggles and inside deals.
Tim Scott says
It was a taxpayer funded proof of concept for his crony, period. It never had to actually sell, though that would have been bonus.

“There’s been a lot of close calls”
meh Hang Gliding is safer then driving a vehicle in Palmdale or Lancaster.
Tom says
So true FWB. Especially with all those stupid bike lanes in Rexville. I have people trying to go around me all the time. I keep thinking they’re going to hit the cyclists except there are none.
Tim Scott says
Once again the only natural resource in the AV proves its worth. I used to tell people that my hometown was the world’s leading producer of flat, which made it perfect for testing aircraft because you could pretty much just set them down anywhere. I also told them that if anyone ever came up with a way to package flat so it could be available elsewhere there would be no reason whatever for anyone to live in Lancaster.
