Drones take flight in a basement gymnasium in Albany

In an old gymnasium at the University at Albany where the late Gov. Mario Cuomo once used to play basketball, Ian Jaffe put a small aerial drone through its paces, zipping through a series of illuminated gates.Jaffe, a senior at the university, was among the inaugural pilots Wednesday using the school's new drone flight training center, where students and others can learn how to operate and control the tiny unmanned aircraft.
