BOULDER, Colo. (CBS4) – The Federal Aviation Administration will soon allow the University of Colorado to start testing drones — and they aren’t the typical hobby drones.
One of the drones that will be tested is called the Tempest. It’s used for storm chasing and is one of two drones that will soon be hitting the skies in the San Luis Valley near Alamosa.
