Drones Save Lives in Search and Rescue

I bet there are a bunch of us 107 pilots that would love to take part in something this big! Life is too precious and to be a part of saving someone’s life is an incredible heart warming feeling. ❤

Before the local constabularies had drones I went up twice to help find an errant Alzheimer’s patient. Success both times. The County now has its own drone program. I’m still a volunteer if they need it. SAR is the highest use, save for military. Good video. Every 107 pilot should volunteer. See you at Oshkosh.

Hear me out, this needs to be a tv series. 😁

Wow, didn't know that many resources were available to be used in a rescue like this one. Very well done. Thanks Greg and Pilot Institute for all your work and a big Thank You to all the first responders out there. You guys are the best. 👍😊🙏

The nice gentleman who was rescued looked a bit familiar. :) As a Civil Air Patrol sUAS Mission Pilot, I'm super impressed with how you showcased drones for search and rescue. Great job on the brief & debrief scenario for great team collaboration and continuous improvement. Seeing the potential of color, thermal, and AI analysis of the video is amazing. Hopefully, we'll see improvements for "on-the-fly" AI video analysis for faster response time within the controller.

outstanding PSA for SAR. I was on a canine team 30 years ago and this was so familiar but yet so different with the added technology. Handheld GPS was new for us at the time; facinating to look back and imagine how useful drones would have been.

Excellant. Just signed up for the training in this.

out freaking standing. Well then let's share it with some people in Washington. Perhaps they could say " well you can do it with another brand of drone" but in places like Puerto Rico that is one of those places where Hurricanes (Florida, Texas) hits every year, we are also susceptible to Tsunamis and earthquakes (California) , in these days where mother nature is changing so fast, an emergency can just be right the corner. By the time they do some changes life and property is in danger. Any lost, their fault.

Greg, you missed a golden opportunity to be wearing a Pilot Institute hat during your " rescue". Great demo!

Great resource for any presentation on the value of drones for saving lives. Use to fight regulations that interfere with the use of drones for SAR.

That's amazing teamwork and coordination.

Good job! Great training! Go Greg!! My SAR commander is signing me up for your course - looking forward to it!

Very detailed operation. Great work! I do a lot of similar operations myself here in Canada!

Great video. Thanks for creating it!

Well done!

Great work Kyle and Greg!

Excellent video!!!!

Excellent!

Would it be possible to get info on the radios and headsets used on this video? Thank you!

I want this job....
