Some of our work
A showcase of jobs flown across South Florida. Every video listed has been cleared with the client before being published.
How it works
Phone call to final files in three steps
No airspace paperwork on your desk, and no guessing when the images land.
Tell us the address
Call or send the form. We check the airspace over that parcel the same day and tell you straight away whether it needs an FAA authorization filing.
We fly it
A Part 107 certificated pilot flies to the deliverable — stills, video or an orthomosaic. Night flights included where they suit the job.

What our customers say about us
Absolutely outstanding service from Papa's Aerial Services! I hired them for my wedding and the aerial shots they captured were breathtaking. They truly added a unique and magical touch to our special day. Highly recommend them for any event you want to remember forever!
Professionalism at its finest! I engaged Papa's Aerial Services for a cell tower inspection project and they exceeded all my expectations. Their precise aerial footage helped us pinpoint issues efficiently and saved us both time and money. They're definitely my go-to for any future inspections!
In times of disaster, Papa's Aerial truly shines as a beacon of hope and assistance. Their swift and accurate assessments have been invaluable in helping our community recover. I can't thank them enough for their dedication to public safety and serving those in need. A true lifesaver!
Questions
Answers before you book
What is your turnaround time?
We deliver edited still photos within 24 hours of the shoot. A week of notice before a shoot is ideal, but we are used to working with less and will move quickly when you need us to. Projects that need mapping, video editing or image stitching take several days on top of that.
How will I get my files?
For most projects we deliver edited digital photos through Google Drive within 24 hours of the shoot. You get an email with a link to an online gallery where you can download every file to your own device.
Do I need to be on site for the shoot?
Usually not. Our pilots can capture what you need without you there, and most clients prefer to brief us by phone or through our project intake form, which lets you set out your goals in detail. You are welcome to join us, though scheduling can take longer when it has to suit several parties.
Can you fly near an airport?
Often, yes. Some areas are off-limits or carry height restrictions, but we can fly near - and sometimes at - most airports once the necessary permission is granted. If you are not sure about a location, call us and we will check it.
Can you get FAA authorization for controlled airspace?
Yes. We can obtain FAA authorization to fly in proximity to a major airport. Approval can take several days, so bring us the project as early as you can.
