I think I need one, you know, 'cause.

This is the revolution, BTW, the absolute shift to commercial grade sensors that are better than the stuff I flew in the military.

Quick Sea Story.

I flew the first FLIR on Navy helicopters when I was doing flight test. I won't name the manufacturer but the thing was nose mounted on the helo, weighted more than a Kardasian, was liquid cooler by Angel Tears and was as reliable as an alcoholic.

When it worked it was transformative.

That same basic FLIR capability now fits in my hand (doesn't have the range: power rules) and never breaks.

First I have heard of the cell phone models...off to do homework!

BTW, having one at your country digs would be great.
