Safety First: A Temporary Update from Precision Drone Ops š
In light of recent discussions regarding potential security threats and the presence of extremist sleeper cells within the U.S., we have made the difficult decision to ground our flight operations effective immediately.
While we love being in the air, we want to ensure there is zero confusion or unnecessary alarm within our community during this heightened state of awareness. We believe it is our responsibility to step back until the national security landscape becomes clearer.
We will remain grounded until further notice. Thank you for understanding our commitment to public safety. šŗšø

š¾š Precision Drone Ops at the 6th Annual Sit & Treat! šš¾
On October 5th, we had the absolute joy of attending the 6th Annual Sit & Treat event at Howliday Inn Pet Resort , and it was nothing short of magical. š¶šš©
From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was filled with laughter, wagging tails, and the kind of warmth that only a community of pet lovers can create. We met so many amazing dogs and their proud ownersāeach pup showing off their awesome tricks, big personalities, and boundless energy. From high-fives to hoop jumps, the talent on display was inspiring and heartwarming. š¾š«
We were honored to bring our drone to the skies and capture the event from a whole new perspective. The aerial photos we took reflect more than just the layout of the eventāthey showcase the spirit of togetherness, the joy of companionship, and the love that radiated from every corner of the resort.
We also want to give a special shoutout to Paula from Shark & Paws K9, who was there handing out brochures filled with incredibly helpful information about emergency preparedness during disasters. Her presence added a vital layer of awareness and care to the event, reminding us all how important it is to be ready and informed when it matters most.
As a veteran-owned business, moments like these remind us why we do what we do. Itās not just about technologyāitās about connection. Itās about using our skills to celebrate the bonds between people and their pets, and to support the communities that make these moments possible.
Weāre deeply grateful to Howliday Inn Pet Resort for hosting such a fantastic gathering and for welcoming us with open arms. Your dedication to pet care and community engagement is truly inspiring.
To everyone we metāthank you for sharing your stories, your smiles, and your furry friends with us. If youāre ever in need of drone photography, pet search support, or just want to learn more about how we can serve you, weāre only a call or message away.

š¾ Goose Is Home Safe ā A Story of Hope, Teamwork, and Technology š¾
Last week, a beloved dog named Goose went missing, leaving her owners heartbroken and desperate for answers. After extensive ground searches in the areas they believed she had wandered, the thick brush and tall grass in the open fields made it nearly impossible to cover the terrain effectively. Thatās when they reached out to Precision Drone Ops for aerial assistance.
We immediately responded, deploying the drone to conduct multiple grid searches using thermal imaging technology. We scanned a one-mile radius around the suspected area, hoping to catch any sign of movement or heat signature that could lead us to Goose. Despite our best efforts and thorough coverage, we were able to confirm that she was not in the immediate area.
While it was tough not to find her right away, the story doesnāt end there. Thanks to continued community awareness and the ownersā persistence, Goose was later found two miles awayātired but safeāand is now back home where she belongs.
This mission reminded us why we do what we do. Drones arenāt just toolsātheyāre lifelines. They allow us to cover ground quickly, safely, and with precision, especially in situations where time and terrain are working against us.
Weāre incredibly grateful to Gooseās family for trusting us, and to everyone who helped spread the word. Every lost pet deserves a chance to come home, and weāre honored to be part of that journey.
If you ever need help locating a missing pet, conducting thermal inspections, or performing aerial searches, weāre here to serve our community with compassion and cutting-edge technology.
Welcome home, Goose. š¶ā¤ļø

For immediate release:
Iāve decided to part ways with MO/AR Tracking & Rescue and am no longer affiliated with the organization. Over the past year, Iāve had the chance to contribute to meaningful efforts and connect with people who care deeply about their communities. Iām grateful for those experiences.
This decision is about moving forward with integrity and focus. Iāll continue serving the public through Precision Drone Ops, and I respectfully ask that I not be tagged in posts related to MO/AR Tracking & Rescue going forward.
Thank you for your continued support. The mission remains the sameājust with a new direction.
š Drone Battery Maintenance MattersāEspecially for High-End Systems š
Whether you're flying for fun or running precision missions like we do at Precision Drone Ops, your drone is only as reliable as the power behind it. Thatās why regular battery maintenance isnāt optionalāitās essential.
For operators using the DJI Matrice 30 series, proper battery care is critical to performance and safety. Hereās the recommended maintenance cycle:
ā
Charge batteries to 100%
ā
Let them rest for 24 hours
ā
Discharge to below 20%
ā
Let them rest for 1 hour
ā
Then recharge as needed
If you donāt have any scheduled flights, always keep your batteries in storage mode, which maintains them at around 50% charge. Keeping them fully charged for extended periods without discharging will lead to premature battery failureāand in the field, thatās a disaster waiting to happen.
And heyādischarging doesnāt have to be a chore. We had a blast flying out at Mark Twain National Forest, putting in flight time while giving our batteries a healthy cycle. Itās a great excuse to explore, practice, and keep your gear in top shape.
At Precision Drone Ops, we treat battery health as mission-critical. Whether weāre flying thermal inspections, 3D mapping, or search and rescue, we make sure our gear is ready to perform at the highest level.
Stay sharp, fly safe, and if you ever need help optimizing your drone setup, Iām just a call or text away.

What a heartwarming way to spend the day. I met an inspiring crew of people who clearly care deeply about their community and their pups. Even better, I partnered with the event owners to capture aerial footage that highlights just how much joy and energy surrounded this special gathering.
Seeing the celebration from the skies gave me a fresh appreciation for the connections that bring people togetherāwhether itās over shared purpose, a wagging tail, or a good cause. Take a look from aboveāthis video captures the heart and energy of Dogust like nothing else.

š¾ Missing Dog Alert ā Daisy Mae š¾
Earlier today, Paula Sharkey and I were contacted by Morgan from Take a Token With You Dog Walking and Pet Sitting LLC about a missing dog named Daisy Mae, who had escaped from a local dog daycare in the close proximity to Cherokee Middle School. Daisy had been missing for approximately 7 hours, and we immediately jumped into action.
We deployed our drone and used thermal imaging to scan a half-mile radius around the area in hopes of locating her quickly. Despite a thorough search, we werenāt able to spot Daisyāand based on the scan and surrounding activity, we now believe she may have been picked up by someone.
Weāre keeping our fingers crossed that Daisy is safe and will be reunited with her family soon. If Daisy is spotted, please let us know as soon as possible!!!
