How could I call it a toy? I mean really – what a great tool! So Wendy has her sewing/embroidery machines, how about a drone for me? I mean we’ve talked about a couple of things to use and enjoy in retirement. Maybe this will be mine.

My friend Mark allowed me to see him use his drone – zipping up to 300 meters eventually and flying off so that it was both out of sight and out of hearing looking down at us like we were little ants on the ground. Eventually when it was well out of sight he pushed the “home” button and it returned to us.

It was amazing to see what it could see though we could no longer see or hear the drone and to be able to turn it and get different views. Amazing.

Here’s the take off.
