From Farm Progress straight into Super Nationals—Boone is officially the center of the action this week.

Caught some incredible sights as the 2026 IMCA Super Nationals got rolling at Boone Speedway.🏁🏎️

The calm before the agricultural storm. 🚜 I took the drone up over the Central Iowa Expo grounds this afternoon to get a bird’s-eye view of the 2026 Farm Progress Show coming together. The sheer scale of this event is impressive from the ground, but seeing the layout from above really puts into perspective how much preparation goes into transforming Boone into the center of the ag world for the week. The gates open tomorrow morning! Who's going to be there?

Sometimes the best business days look like a day off.

Yesterday I took some time to hang out with my daughter before her big first day of second grade today! We grabbed some great food and made some awesome memories.

We did manage to sneak in a little bit of company business, though. Huge shoutout to Faisal at Dewey Ford for getting us set up with the official new Stratus Mobile! This 2500 HD is going to be a game-changer for hauling our gear to larger mapping and commercial real estate sites.

Feeling incredibly grateful for the flexibility to be there for the big family moments while still building the business. Here’s to a great school year for her, and a busy fall for Stratus Flight & Field! 🚀

What an incredible day capturing the Boone Antique-Rods-Customs-Muscle Car Show from the sky! Looking down at beautiful Downtown Boone, the streets were absolutely packed with stunning classics, hot rods, and heavy-hitting muscle cars. It is always amazing to see the community come together, and getting a bird's-eye view of all that gleaming chrome and custom paint really highlights the massive scale of this fantastic local tradition.

Fast, high-resolution aerial photogrammetry & 3D site modeling—processed locally with zero cloud delays. 🚁📊

Are slow cloud processing turnarounds holding back your site surveys, progress reports, or volumetric estimates?

At Stratus Flight & Field LLC, we offer end-to-end aerial data processing and rendering. By processing raw drone datasets entirely in-house on a dedicated, high-performance computing rig, we eliminate expensive cloud platform markups and deliver crisp, actionable files straight to your team.

When you submit a dataset for rendering, you will receive exactly the file formats your engineers and draftsmen need:

What We Deliver:

-High-Res 2D Orthomosaics (.GeoTIFF): Ready for construction tracking, site mapping, and GIS overlays.
-Raw 3D Point Clouds (.LAS / .LAZ): The heavy, granular data your engineers need to build highly precise 3D surfaces from scratch. These are ready to drop into Autodesk ReCap (.RCP) for Civil 3D integration.
-Lightweight Topographic Contours (.DXF): Simplified elevation lines that import directly into AutoCAD or Civil 3D instantly, bypassing the need for heavy point-cloud conversions.
-3D Surface Meshes (.OBJ): Fully textured 3D models for spatial planning and structural visualization.
-3D Volumetric Calculations: Accurate tonnage and yardage metrics for stockpiles, aggregates, and earthwork updates.

Transparent Per-Image Pricing:

-Small Site Dataset (< 500 images): $0.40 / image
-Medium Site Dataset (500 – 1,200 images): $0.35 / image
-Large Site Dataset (1,200 – 2,500 images): $0.30 / image
-Enterprise Datasets (2,500+ images): Custom volume rates

Have raw aerial photos sitting on an SD card waiting to be processed? Send a direct message to see how fast we can turn your data into actionable CAD-ready models.

🎻 Bumblebee is staring longingly out the window, dreaming of clear skies and open airspace. When you just want to go out and play, but you remember you're made of microchips and batteries. 🌧️🐝 The rain delay is real today!
