Well, perhaps it's not as impressive as receiving a PhD, but we didn't have to study as much to receive this "degree" from the University of Regina. An image taken by one of our Java Post Aerial Photography UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) was featured as a two page photo in the recent Fall/Winter edition of Degrees, the alumni magazine published by the University of Regina.

In this travelogue video shot on his iPhone 6S, Jack points out that Tucson is famous for two things: singer Linda Ronstadt...and, to a somewhat lesser-known extent, Jack's good buddy, Brent Kowalchuk.

Topics:   Java Blog

Before Java Post Aerial Photography launches our latest UAV - the Freefly ALTA - into the skies, our UAV technician, Trevor Bennett, has to put the unit through its paces on the ground. As any experienced UAV operator will tell you, a lot more time is spent on the shop bench doing maintenance (both pre and post-flight) than is ever spent in the air. That's a very important part of safe and…
