Founder: Keith Kauten
Licensed 107 Pilot
Began flying drones during the 30 years of working in the Insurance industry doing claims adjusting, field underwriting building inspections and Loss control inspection. He didn’t feel safe getting on steep pitched roofs and tall buildings. Flying drones gave him safety and security and faster turnaround time plus an efficient way of doing inspections. His goal is to give back.

Our Mission
Our goals are to provide flight missions, scheduling locating and creating flying missions that can be documented in their flight logbook and used for job interview reference material and proof of professionalism.
Other missions of ours would be provide scheduled flying times for pilots. They would fly under one of GoFly’107 pilots in control who is a licensed 107 pilot in command and there would be a visual observer available to assist with flight awareness and any flight assistance necessary
Donations to Gofly’107 are Tax Deductible
And documented with the IRS as a 501c3 if you notice in one of the paragraphs it states that donors can get tax deduction. I think some of that letter needs to be in my brochure. We can talk about it
