I would like to thank everyone for their kind words and support. I think this is quite possibly the best of the best when it comes to pilots and people in General. I will hopefully have big news next week sometime, and I’ll be sure to post in this thread when and if I hear. Semper Fi bless.

Steve, thank you for posting the link to WEUAS. I will be contacting them regarding their representation in my area, IF they have any. If they don't and they would like to, I would love to help them out and get something started here. Thank you for your gratitude, but like I always tell anyone...

Sir, what would you like to know? Unit? Exact years of service? Type and date of discharge? Training received? Mother's maiden name? The fact is, I started this post asking for a mount as I had already glued and temporarily repaired the broken arm on my aircraft. I didn't ask ANYONE to send me...

Because I am a private person who doesn’t like crowds or anyone asking me a million questions while I am flying, I made a sign using a foam board presentation display and wrote out, “I am a drone pilot, and I am currently operating a very expensive piece of equipment in this area. I am filming...

I Just walked my pocket pit (I swear her parents are regular size, she’s a dwarf dog) Gracie, and when I cleaned her mess up, low and behold I found one of my broken propellers from the Mavic. Good thing she chewed it up or that would have caused a howl on the way out lol

I got two packages today...one being a brand new in a Portabrace backpack DJI Phantom 4 Advance with 2 batteries, and a 3DR Solo in the original box with a note that says “Semper Fi, MGSgt, Ret. 2D Recon BN. We were in country at the same time. I watched your unit get ambushed and you get hit by...

Got an email from rob at thunderdrones a few days ago, saying that they had my mavic and that they were doing the estimate on it. I'm just waiting on him to finish the repair and send it back to me. A friend of mine did give me a wreck Phantom 3 standard that I've been tooling around with...

Hit by an IED in Fallujah, result was TBI and total hearing loss in my left ear, tissue and muscle loss in my left leg, PTSD, and nightmares for the past 13 years or so. I couldn’t pass the PFT, so they started processing me out right before I picked up SSgt. Any other queries? Retirement...

Bahahahaaaa...wait...I thought it was 88mph...surely 77mph would put you in a time warp limbo...

You could always downgrade your firmware to .700 and increase your top speed like I did with mine. There is a tutorial on YouTube that explains how. I had mine up to 48.3mph in super sport mode, and after it gets repaired I'll play with the parameters again and make it able to be switched into...

The VA in Mobile is terrible, so I go to Biloxi and they're a lot better. As for the board on eBay, I saw them and still have an issue with payment. When I paid all the bills in advance, i saved enough for food, gas to go to the VA and coubseling sessions, and medication refills. I literally...

I am at a very low point in life and recently received a Mavic Pro as a gift to lift my spirits... I fell in love with the rush of being able to fly a mile or two out an d 300 feet in the air to see parts of my hometown of Mobile, Alabama, and I’ve even received a load of compliments on the few...

I live in Mobile downtown and fly a few nights a week at Cooper Riverside Park, getting beautiful photos of the skyline and city lights. You can fly (with permission at the USS Alabama Memorial Park, which would give you access to Mobile Bay and the adjacent rivers and causeway, and last but not...

Currently looking at either a very lucky but horrifying situation or a $1000 parts drone...
