Mounted search and rescue

["T'mi Fi" <tfinkle@erols.com>]

The Remote Control Aerial Photography Association website provides a 
great deal of information on this topic and also refers to some of the 
FAA regulations that are in place. <http://www.rcapa.net/guidelines.htm>  

They also have a page devoted to aerial photography SAR, which is 
designed to educate people on the use of small unmanned aircraft in this 
field. <http://www.rcapa.net/search-and-rescue.htm>

Happy Flying,
