Thanks to Bill for today’s question. As a guy in his 60’s, Bill wants to know if he’ll face a learning curve when training to be a drone pilot. We talk about some of the challenges that everyone faces when starting out in the drone industry and discuss why no one should allow a learning curve to deter them from living the drone life. The industry needs more people like you, Bill! Thanks for the question! Fly safe!
