FLYING DRONES IN & AROUND P’COLA ⿀

Seems today, everyone either owns a drone or knows someone who does. No doubt, drones are a great way to capture the beautiful Gulf Coast from a bird's-eye view; stunning beaches, historic architecture, and lush landscapes. Pensacola definitely provides a beautiful backdrop for drone footage.

HEAD’S UP P’COLA - flying drone’s in and around Pensacola is subject to FAA regulations and local restrictions, especially around the Naval Air Station Pensacola and Gulf Islands National Seashore.

NOW YOU KNOW ✅: Recreational drone pilots are required to pass the TRUST test. Commercial operators require a Part 107 license. Always check for temporary flight restrictions, particularly during events like the Red, White & Blue Angels Airshow!
