A Visit to Oman, and More!

In the July-August issue of RotorDrone magazine, Patrick Sherman of the Roswell Flight Test Crew describes a trip earlier this year to Muscat, the capital city of Oman on the Arabian Peninsula.

Speaking at the first-ever drone conference held in the desert kingdom, Sherman had the opportunity to see how this new technology is being received half a world away.

He writes: "Yet, for all of the differences this trip to the other side of the planet revealed, it brought home to me that even more is the same: drone people like to talk about drones; there is an understanding that this technology is bringing something fundamentally new and different into the world; and, there is always tension between its limitless potential and concerns about safety, security and privacy."
