For those of us dancing in school gyms in the early 1980s, Love is in the Air is a
familiar tune. As American Bandstand would say - nice rhythm, easy to dance to. For
those of us at UAF in 2023, we could morph that into Drones are in the Air, maybe
do a remix to zhuzh it up. This new song, though, will not be a one-hit wonder if
Cathy Cahill and the ACUASI band have anything to say about it! ACUASI has been around
for over 20 years but for the last few years has really taken off (pun intended) with
the growing interest in the state of AV̳ in developing a drone economy. This is
a heavy lift, but the team is all in. Come see for yourself at the ground-breaking
ceremony on Aug. 7 for the ACUASI hangar to be built at the Nenana Municipal Airport.
