Another step towards my dream of an Uber-for-'Skyhook'-style-personal-drone-transport!
('Skyhook' was a cold-war era technology for lifting people up to planes flying overhead, kind of a reverse-parachute, involving baloons & long tether-lines:
"Fulton first used instrumented dummies as he prepared for a live pickup. He next used a pig, as pigs have nervous systems close to humans. Lifted off the ground, the pig began to spin as it flew through the air at 125 mph (200 km/h). It arrived on board uninjured but in a disoriented state. Once it recovered, it attacked the crew."

Some pig.
