Meet Our Drone Pilots
Seven FAA Part 107 licensed thermal drone pilots stationed across Central & Northern Missouri — close enough to get in the air fast when it counts.
The Team
Meet The Pilots
Every Recon1 flight is operated by an FAA Part 107 licensed pilot and covered under insurance through BWI Aviation. Our pilots live and work in the communities we serve — hunters, landowners, and neighbors who know the terrain you’re asking us to search.
