Re: FESA Smart chopper unveiled for bushfire season

I've sat with the air ops officer before watching realtime footage of the fire streamed by the air intel chopper. It's really impressive.

Re: Deliberate radio interference

It was crystal clear without others trying to transmit from my memory - I wish I had a recording though.
