I’ve learned you can’t see everything from the ground, so a few years ago I learned to fly a drone to get some unique perspectives on the Southwest. The images are often compelling, and you just can’t get these photos any other way. Many of the photos here were taken with a DJI Air 2S drone, which I’ve recently replaced with a DJI Mavic 3 Classic drone which has more flight time and an enhanced camera
