Hear from a FlyRoute Owner
“I’ve been thrilled to partner with FlyRoute since April of 2025. I first heard about this exciting opportunity through FlyGuys, which led me to connect with the FlyRoute team and expand drone videography services in the Pittsburgh area for high school football, lacrosse, soccer, and rugby. This ownership role has been a game-changer for my business.
FlyRoute provided a comprehensive business plan to help me grow my business for years to come. From the start, FlyRoute provided comprehensive training on FAA regulations and safe drone operations, ensuring every flight prioritizes safety while delivering high-definition aerial footage that gives teams a competitive edge in sports analytics. The support from Collin Caffrey and Michael Buchkoski—including marketing tools, client leads, and access to cutting-edge drone technology—has helped me build strong relationships with local schools and coaches who rave about the unique drone angle, setting the stage for significant growth in the coming years.
What stands out most is FlyRoute’s exceptional, well-thought-out, and descriptive business plan and model, which offers a clear, innovative roadmap for sustainable expansion and success. Additionally, the training and support provided by Collin Caffrey and Michael Buchkoski have been exceptional. This aligns perfectly with FlyRoute’s commitment to its values: integrity in every promise, unwavering safety standards, exceptional service that creates raving fans among coaches, inspiration through pilot training opportunities, and yes, having fun soaring above stadiums! Every time I review game footage from the drone, I am even more convinced that drone videography is the new standard.
If you’re passionate about drones, athletics, and entrepreneurship, I highly recommend becoming a FlyRoute owner. It’s not just a business; it’s a way to take flight together and make a positive impact. Let’s expand this innovative service nationwide!” –Cory Houck, President of FlyRoute Pittsburgh
