Hello people! I am new to your group, so I apologize if my question appears rather naive. I am a 70-year-old 100% disabled veteran living in Michigan. I would like to purchase a drone for my 45-year-old son, who has no experience flying a drone. However, "back in the day," I had several R/C planes, so I have some experience. Which brand/model of drone would best suit our needs...and pocketbook?

Greetings from Birmingham Alabama USA, welcome to the forum! We look forward to hearing from you!

Many of the newest DJI drones would fit the bill.
It largely depends on what you plan to use your drone for.
 
I still fly my RC planes at times BUT My Drone addiction has taken almost all my time. lol
What will your son be doing? Photos? Flying around for the fun of just flying the Drone?
Its an important question. All the DJI Drones are starter Drones really BUT if you get the wrong one for the purpose you will be disappointed.
Flying for the joy of it....Get the AVATA 2 your son will LOVE it and its the best "starter" FPV Drone that I know of.
Photos well thats open for many other questions and on the photo quality and the differences you will need other advice I would think an air 3.
