Showcasing Our Team: James, UAS Pilot at AeroVision

At AeroVision, every successful flight comes down to the skill, precision, and dedication of the people in the field. This month, we’re highlighting James, one of our UAS Pilots. James has been flying for Aerovision since the beginning of 2025 and collects distribution inspection imagery, working primarily in the eastern Sierra mountains of California.

James started his career in the Air Force maintaining F-117 aircraft. Driven by his passion for aviation, he transitioned to the unmanned systems world in 2019, where he began working as a UAS inspection pilot.

In his free time, James is an avid outdoorsman, enjoying off-roading and practicing his marksman skills. He is also a talented musician, playing both the bass and guitar, and enjoys cooking a great meal at the end of the day.

The work we do is important and thanks to team members like James, we deliver top tier services to our clients everyday.
