Drone delivery is now being launched for a trial run. Launched by Wing, in partnership with Virginia Tech's Mid-Atlantic Aviation Partnership (MAAP), drones were sent to three locations around Christiansburg. One included the home of the Joyce family, who received a package from Blacksburg-based company Sugar Magnolia.
