1st International Drone Community Event in USA

  1. I was the Team Leader in Iowa (Each state has a team leader) for International Drone Community (IDC) and I organized the First ever International Drone Community Event that took place 2016 in Cambridge, IA during Skunk River Valley Days.  I held the drone event primarily for local farmers.


  

DroneSharks was created to produce the International Drone Community Event.  Several farmers, Drone Vendors showed up and local and regional Ag Media and the Secretary of Agriculture, Bill Northey.  One drone was sold to a local farmer under the table.  At the time FAA would not allow farmers flying drones without a license.

Drones will cover Google Earth

Drones will cover Google Earth.  I created a blog for farmers in the Midwest and raised interest in drones for Agriculture.  I have been spending most of my time flying indoor Quadcopters and entertaining elderly and choreographing to patriotic music.  I have safety as first priority so when I loose control no one will get hurt.  It is what I call "Make America Great Again Airshow"  Entertainment include Gods Blessing, National Anthem, free give-aways. Typically last one hour and can be held in a dining room or theater.
