what about a 'drone school' like in the good ole days when there were hundreds of helo's on the army ramp ready to go off for the days training. that would have to be a really fun and productive event! provided of course no-one used words or phrases like, testimony, congressional hearing, Accountability Office,etc oh my goodness....THAT is drone!
