Checking in from the Surface of the Sun...Mesa, AZ

[mattcaz]

I've seen this forum around but never joined till now. Started with A toy Drone.. got the bug.. got a Holystone HS720 but found that social media had too many posts about uncontrolled flyaways.. sent it back to Amazon and bought the DJI Mini. Then I picked up a Mavic Air 2, sold the mini.. then I added the Mini 2. Now I just added the Air 2s. I always swore I wouldn't be one of those "Drone Collectors".. but now that is me! I'm 65 and fully retired so I get to go fly during the week.
I run a local Fakebook forum for the East Valley of Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler etc. http://azevdrones.com Has local info for places to fly etc. (admin- if this is not allowed to reference another group, please let me know and I'll remove the link)

I do have my part 107 but haven't used it commercially yet.

Hi, nice to meet you! Let me ask - based on your profile pic - what did you fly before the drones? [emoji2956]

Hi and thanks for asking. I wasn't a stick shaker. I earned my wings as a flight mechanic on Air Force 2 for George HW Bush when he was the Vice President then when I went to Presidential to work on Air Force 1 under President Reagan, didn't fly any more.. Just maintenance and LOTS OF POLISHING/CLEANING. Enlisted guy.. retired as SMSgt (E-8).

Thank you for your support! Got them off Amazon. You screw the top down to turn on, loosen to turn off.. uses small watch batteries.

Wow, that's pretty impressive!
I'm not an American, but still thank you for your service! I'm from Czech and my country wouldn't have ever been free if there weren't you and other men and women in service in USA.

Thank you! I'm glad to see the eastern bloc living in freedom.
