Greetings from Texas

Hello All,

Newbie here. I've been flying drones for only about 4 to 5 years. I'm an engineer and do inspections for a living.

I hope to learn something here.

Welcome aboard! Where in Texas are you? I'm in North Richland Hills, a suburb of Fort Worth.

Fort Worth.

Cool! PM me here if you want and I'll give you my contact info. If you ever want to get together and fly....or maybe if either of us needs a VO or 2nd for dual operations (Pilot/Camera Op), nice to have a local in the back pocket.

I'm also active in our local AUVSI Lonestar Chapter and I can introduce you to the group as well. Great group of local pro's of differing backgrounds and businesses. Great networking opportunity for you if you're so inclined.

Welcome from another Texan...also in North Richland Hills. Lots of knowledge to be gained from these pages and contributors.

Really? Cool...for the longest time it’s only been me and a couple others in the Metroplex here on the forum. I’m off Davis and Hightower.....you?

Small world. Bursey between Davis and Ruffe Snow.

We’re probably a mile or two apart. I fly a lot at Green Valley Park and Cross Timbers Park. NRH Police pointed me to them, said lots of folks fly there. We don’t have any city ordinances against flying, and we’re in a pocket of Class G Airspace, outside DFW, Meacham and Alliance. All good as the overlying E700 above is no-impact.

Welcome. I’m in McKinney. Been flying as a hobby for years but got my 107 about a year ago to help with drone SAR in a local disaster response organization.
