Drone Flight Training
Why should I take 3rd Rock Air's Drone Flight School
Sign up for our drone flight school and see how drones are a daily part of life, news, sports, first responders, construction, etc. You most likely know someone who owns a drone or your company is using drones in projects or filling job positions with people who have drone experience. The futuristic predictors, have been blind-sided by the number of drone owners and businesses using drone technology than could have ever been anticipated. Wow! Old school thinking, right?
No one can predict innovation in a market such as this. With today's technology in mobile devices, 3D printing, cinematography and so on, the sky is no longer the limit. Take social media for example, who would have been able to accurately predict this? Today, you either get with the program or find yourself settled with obsolete knowledge and skill sets.
