AUVSI 2010 Patrick Egan on the ground for sUASnews.

Dispatch from the Phoenix Sky Harbor airport, on my way to the big show. Today I’ll be attending the Airspace Integration Workshop till 1700, and then off to the Insitu reception. The workshop may prove to be interesting as John McGraw (currently listed on the program), has been replaced by Rick Prosek, head of the UAPO. Tomorrow I’ll be meeting with the AUVSI Executive Vice President and then the Airspace Advocacy Committee. The afternoon we be reserved for seeking out friends and colleagues in the exhibit hall. Among them will be Steve at MLB, Reid at Procerus, and the gang over at the Stara technologies booth. If anyone has questions for either the workshop or advocacy meeting, pass them along.

Regards, Patrick
