Aeon Unmanned

We've got an addition to our "Graduates' Trophy Case:" a challenge coin from the Red Feather Lakes Volunteer Fire Department, NW of Ft. Collins. It was given to us by their volunteer firefighter Daniel, who earned his drone license after taking Aeon's drone license ground school this January to expand the department's drone capabilities. The back of the coin commemorates the Cameron Peak Fire, August 13 to November 2, 2020, the first Colorado wildfire to burn over 200,000 acres. 12 fire agencies were involved in the many weeks of fire suppression.

New year, new adventure! We started 2024 with an invitation to present the Drone License Ground School to the Eddy County Fire and Rescue Department based in Carlsbad, New Mexico. This department, with both full time staff and volunteers, is responsible for fire management for 4200 square miles in southern New Mexico and a slice of Texas to the south. The Fire team was joined by Carlsbad city firefighters and and Eddy County sheriff's deputies. Each department is integrating drones into their operations. Bonus for us: visiting Carlsbad Caverns National Park. Definitely a bucket list visit for anyone!

THE DEAL: We got this call: "It's Cyber Monday! What's your deal on the Drone License Course?" OK! Here it is: get 10% off of the tuition for the upcoming December 6-7 Drone License Ground School course when you use the discount code "2023" at checkout! That's just about an $80 savings! AND - you can earn your drone license THIS YEAR! The offer is good through Sunday, December 3! (OK, Caller. There's your deal. See you in class?)

Our monthly drone license class is keeping us busy! Here's our September class graduation. And we were honored to be invited to present an on-site training at Mountain Rescue Aspen, Pitkin County's volunteer search and rescue team, teaching members to earn their drone license so they can operate the MRA drones that have already been used successfully in search operations. We did manage to get 3 members of that busy crowd to stand still for a photo!
