Why would I take lessons from balloon training experts? We’re more than just balloon training experts. We’re UAS certificated drone pilots and Federal Aviation Administration Safety Team Drone Pros! Not to mention our Co-founder and President, Adam Magee, is a designated by the Federal Aviation Administration as a Drone examiner meaning that he can issue Drone certificates in addition to hot air balloon private and commercial pilot certificates.
We’ve helped over 50% of all new balloon pilots earn their certificates, now we want to help those interested in earning their Drone certificates! We are proud to be a 501c3 non-profit organization with no paid staff! Just people with a passion for helping others!
