[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 232130, member: 4012"] In their enthusiasm, they seem to have overlooked the short endurance and limited control range of commercial drones, which would be restricted to the immediate vicinity of searchers. This might be acceptable along the coast or somewhere like the Blue Mountains, but if I was lost in real outback country, I'd much prefer a helicopter or fixed wing aircraft was looking for me.
