“THE STORY OF MID-ATLANTIC AERIAL HAS BEEN ONE OF FRIENDSHIP, PROMOTION OF MARYLAND, RESPONSIBLE USE OF OUR DJI QUAD COPTERS, ALL WHILE EDUCATING GOVERNMENT, MEDIA AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC ”

IN DECEMBER OF 2013, LARRY ROGERS AND DAVID BUTTS BECAME FRIENDS THROUGH THEIR MUTUAL INTEREST IN FLYING THE DJI PHANTOM AND AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY. WE COLLABORATED ON THE FACEBOOK PAGE MID-ATLANTIC AERIAL VIDEOGRAPHY & PHOTOGRAPHY. OUR NEWLY FORMED FRIENDSHIP RESULTED IN RESOUNDING SUCCESS GAINING NEARLY 6,000 FOLLOWERS IN 1 YEAR ON BOTH FACEBOOK AND TWITTER. WE HAVE USED D-J-I AERIAL VEHICLES TO BOTH PROMOTE TOURISM IN MARYLAND AND EDUCATE THE PUBLIC. WE ALSO WORK WITH THE MARYLAND OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR AND DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES IN EFFORTS TO ASSIST THEM IN MAKING INFORMED LEGISLATIVE DECISIONS, AND REALIZE COST SAVINGS THROUGH THE USE OF D-J-I PRODUCTS. OUR USE OF DJI PHANTOMS HAS EXTENDED BEYOND EDUCATION AND PROMOTION OF THE MID ATLANTIC. IN 2014, WE CAPTURED AMAZING VIEWS OF MORE THAN 30 U.S STATES. ONE OF OUR GREAT SUCCESSES HAS BEEN THE RELATIONSHIPS WE HAVE ESTABLISHED WITH LOCAL POLICE, IN SUPPORT OF SPECIAL OLYMPICS OF MARYLAND CAPTURING AMAZING AERIALS OF BOTH THE POLAR BEAR PLUNGE AND THE LAW ENFORCEMENT TORCH RUN. RESPONSIBLE UAV USE CONTINUES TO BE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO US. WE CONTINUE TO FOLLOW ALL FAA REGULATIONS AND BECAUSE OF OUR RESPONSIBLE USE, WE ARE THE FIRST AND ONLY TWO PERMITTED BY THE GOVERNOR TO FLY ON THE GROUNDS OF THE MARYLAND STATE HOUSE. EVEN ONE OF OUR AERIALS GREETS MARYLAND RESIDENTS ON THE GOVERNORS WEBPAGE. WE WERE ALSO THE FIRST TO FLY AT THE PREAKNESS STAKES, THE SECOND LEG OF HORSE RACING'S TRIPLE CROWN. THAT WAS A COORDINATED EFFORT WITH THE BALTIMORE CITY POLICE AVIATION UNIT AND OK'D BY THE LOCAL FAA OFFICE. THE STORY OF MID-ATLANTIC AERIAL HAS BEEN ONE OF FRIENDSHIP, PROMOTION OF MARYLAND, RESPONSIBLE USE OF OUR D-J-I QUAD COPTERS, ALL WHILE EDUCATING GOVERNMENT, MEDIA AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC.WE CONTINUE TO TAKE OUR TALENTS AND USE THEM TO GIVE BACK TO OUR COMMUNITY,BY SHARING THE BEAUTIFUL VIEWS OF BOTH OUR STATE AND COUNTRY, WHILE HAVING AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF FUN FLYING OUR PHANTOMS.
