Next, the Air 3S has hit the FCC database!

We’ve seen quite a few leaks about the Air 3S, including some images with an RC-N3 series controller, what appears to be a larger sensor in a dual camera setup, and potentially larger batteries.

Rumors have also included that batteries may be compatible with the current Air 3.

We’ve seen some decent images of the Air 3, we’ll have to wait and see if DJI publishes an announcement any time soon!

Third up, a drone in Louisiana located a missing child this week.

A 10 year old Louisiana girl was reported missing early in the day on Sunday.

Searchers were unable to locate the girl, and a company from Arkansas, Drone Management Services, stepped in to assist.

Using what appears to be a Mavic 3 Thermal, Co-Owner Josh Kolber located the girl sleeping on the ground.

Great use of the drone Josh!

Last up, the National Interagency Fire Center has published data this week about 21 incidents where drones have operated near wildfires.

In 10 of these events, firefighting aircraft operations were suspended.

Generally, firefighting aircraft operate within a TFR, meaning other aircraft including traditional aircraft are not permitted in that area.

Be sure to check the TFRs before you take off, especially in wildfire prone areas.

Alright, that’s all we’ve got! Greg will be back on Monday, so he’ll see you then for the live Q&A!
