ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., July 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Drone U, an internet-based drone training company, will be holding its first ever Fly-In at its Albuquerque headquarters next month. The sold-out event will be an opportunity for drone pilots, enthusiasts and advocates to meet, network and compete in a series of professionally-designed "missions".
Hosting 75 pilots from around the United States, Drone U's Fly-In is the first event of its kind. Members of the ever-growing drone community will gather to take part in six separate drone competitions, each constructed to highlight key skills involved in drone flight. Prizes will be awarded.
