- ghetto bird just fine
- eye in the sky? not so much
- what's the difference once you take away guy in aircraft?

- what's the difference once you take away guy in aircraft?
A couple things come to mind:
- Helicopters are expensive, you can only afford so many of them. Drones are relatively inexpensive so there can be a lot more of them up there.
- Helicopters are loud, so you probably know that it's there. Not so much with drones.
