INTERVIEW WITH ANDY LUTEN

Andy Luten is the drone pilot and travel blogger who petitioned the FAA for information about their investigation of YouTuber Casey Neistat.  We were lucky enough to sit down and chat with him about his inquiry into the details of Neistat’s case.  He talks with Paul about what he learned from the FAA’s information and speaks about the importance of responsible drone pilots.  Thanks for the interview, Andy!  Fly safe everyone!
