First Drone Delivery




Drone history has been made:

April 7: Wing, the Alphabet drone service, launched its first commercial drone delivery in a major metropolitan area by making a delivery from a Walgreens store in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The delivery marked the official launch of a drone-based delivery program that also will offer ice cream from Blue Bell Creameries, prescription pet medications from easyvet, and first aid kits from Texas Health.

As of now, service is very limited.......

Plans are for the service to initially expand to reach tens of thousands of homes in Frisco and Little Elm, Texas. Shoppers in the area can check a dedicated website to see if they’re eligible for deliveries and download Wing’s app. Currently, the service doesn’t require customers to sign up and deliveries don’t incur any extra fees.


However, the deliveries are restricted compared to more traditional services: Walgreens offers a limited selection of 100 health and wellness items while Blue Bell only makes deliveries on Friday and Saturday afternoons. Additionally, each retailer currently has its own unique set of neighborhoods that are eligible for drone delivery.

.......but, you know this stands to massively expand in the months & years to come.


Not just in the Dallas area, but EVERYWHERE!



Drone-filled skies.



What will keep people from shooting these down and taking the stuff?


Or figuring out how to jam the signals and crash them down into parks, roads, buildings, etc. -- potentially leading to loss of human life?



Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
