Starts Thursday, October 6th, 2016

You’ve all seen those incredible photographs and videos taken from the sky. You think to yourself “It’d sure be nice if I could fly my own airplane and capture those amazing stills and videos from above that I’ve seen and dreamt about - but I’m not a pilot and owning or renting airplanes and helicopters are just too expensive.” That’s all changed. Aerial photography is easier than ever, with drones!
