I can see fire departments using these for smaller situations. It’s going to take a bit of different tech to dive into some extremely turbulent updrafts, but I don’t think that will be a hard problem to solve.
I enjoy our early winter sunsets and late summer twilight. I know I’m not going to enjoy the KOMO news stories about how now everyone will complain about 9am darkness and it having sun until 5:15 isn’t enough.
