Robert Ackerman Biography

-A A +A

It all started 40-plus years ago. While driving around one weekend, I spotted several model helicopters flying. I stopped, then drove over to watch up close. I talked to several people, saw several flights, and decided, I want one. I found one, used, for sale and spent a few months trying to learn.

With the help of the local club, I became successful as a new helicopter pilot and slowly became better. Shortly, I added airplanes and have been enjoying myself ever since. When drones came around, I started flying them also. I have added "Intro Pilot" and Part 107, Commercial Drone Pilot to my skill set. A most rewarding hobby for over 40 years, and I am still going strong.
