While 2020 was a challenging year for traditional aviation, COVID encouraged many airline pilots to transfer to flying drones, while governments began to embrace the burgeoning UAV revolution.   In this special episode of the Australian Aviation Podcast, host Adam Thorn speaks to Ross Anderson and Rowan Kimber from leading drone training centre Aviassist.
