FAA Part 107: Let’s Talk Turkey
A license for a car is far less expensive and one could argue that driving a car on a daily basis is far more dangerous than flying a drone responsibly below 400 feet.

My First Drone Decal – A Half-Baked Review
When I purchased my Mavic 2 Zoom, I thought it was sleek and sexy. The gunmetal grey body paired with silver accents just gave it that cool, secret agent vibe that I wanted in my drone, especially after graduating up from a bulky, white Phantom 3 aircraft.

The Secret Passage Under Route 30 (Video)
Between the east-end of the Park City Mall and the west-side of Long’s Park is a tunnel (it’s really just a walking path that passes under Route 30, but calling it a tunnel is more fun) that is accessible to all foot traffic between the two locations.
An Escape from the Cold: Florida 2020 (video)
The past six months have been loaded with new opportunities to explore the world around me and learn more about it.
