By combining advanced drone technology with decades of real-world aviation expertise, we help local farms, vineyards, and businesses thrive through effective drone inspection and innovative solutions.
Agricultural Services
Drone application services for farms, vineyards, orchards, and managed land throughout the Columbia River Gorge.
Fertilizer & Seed Spreading
Aerial distribution of fertilizer and seed, with application plans tailored to the material, terrain, and site requirements. Drone access helps reduce the need to drive equipment through planted areas or across difficult ground.
Spray Applications
Submit your pesticide, herbicide, or fungicide application requirements for review. Project acceptance depends on the treatment location, product requirements, site conditions, and applicable operating authorizations.

Customers can submit work requests through the portal and access released application reports, invoices, and project history.
Commercial Services
Aerial photography, video, mapping, inspections, and specialized flight support tailored to your project.

Aerial stills and video for property listings, business promotions, tourism, events, and project documentation. Tell us your intended use, preferred shots, and delivery requirements so we can define the scope together.
Mapping & Site Documentation
Aerial imagery and mapping for land management, agricultural assessment, and project progress tracking. Coverage, processing, and deliverables are defined around the information you need.
Visual Inspections
Drone imagery of roofs, structures, irrigation systems, and other site features to support your inspection and maintenance decisions. Capture requirements and access arrangements are reviewed before scheduling.
Specialized Flight Support

High-resolution aerial photography and orthomosaic mapping for field overviews, planting patterns, visible gaps, access planning, and repeat site documentation.
