Idiot with a drone in TFR airspace almost takes out rescue chopper in Texas:

Via AvWeb:

"A rescue-and-recovery helicopter collided with a privately-operated drone while conducting emergency flood-related operations near Kerrville, Texas, yesterday (July 7). The helicopter made an emergency landing and was out of service “until further notice.” The drone was flying in violation of a Temporary Flight Restriction."

Firefighting #rotorcraft shortfall prompts Bell’s 214ST reboot: aviationweek.com/aerospace/air. Aerial #firefighting is an #aerospace niche but it is a critical one. Within that niche, #VTOL aircraft bring unique capabilities. They deliver water and retardant precisely, transport firefighters to remote areas, and perform aerial reconnaissance. VTOLs are essential assets for rapid response and effective wildfire management. 💪🚁 #aircraft #aviation #emergencymanagement #engineering #verticalflight
