Breaking News

3rd Rock Air has moved to OKLAHOMA. Yes, that's right. After 7 successful years in Tampa, we've made the decision to relocate to Tulsa, Oklahoma. Now, why would anyone in their right mind want to move to Oklahoma. Well, you might be surprised to know that Oklahoma is one of the most progressive states in the US when it comes to unmanned aerial vehicles. In fact, the state government there has established the UAS program office with the goal to help assist fellow state agencies, local municipalities, law enforcement and first responders, educators, and others with current policy and regulation adoption, best operational practices, technology capabilities, grant funding and test site development among other activities.” So, we look at this as a golden opportunity for our company. Stay tuned for class updates.

What Our Students are Saying About Us

David is an exemplary instructor! David delivered his knowledge to a class of novices in a clear and concise manner and his patient demeanor kept the attention of the entire class. The hands on flight was awesome with the use of 3rd Rock’s professional drones (3rd Rock provided each candidate with a take home, practice drone). If you are looking to become a commercial drone pilot and require the knowledge to fly and pass the FAA exam, look no further, David’s training is the only training that you will want to be involved in.

Jon Wolfersberger

I highly recommend the training at 3rd rock. As a beginner I found the class more enlightening than I expected. The amount of knowledge that David shared was priceless. At the end of class I didn’t even have any questions, they had all been answered. I’m definitely coming back for the photography class.

Bob Mast

David Cranmer is a fantastically knowledgable instructor who makes the curriculum quite fun. This course does a great job of blending textbook information with hands-on flight training, rounding it out for a very practical and fun learning experience; makes the information easy to retain. I highly recommend this course for anyone looking to obtain their Drone Pilot’s sUAS certification.
