When you see aerial imagery that makes a property, event, or coastal landscape feel larger than life, there is usually far more behind it than simply launching a drone. Above Aerial approaches drone photography and video with a focus on safety, precision, and storytelling. Led by FAA certified remote pilot Michael Panco, the company brings decades of photography experience and specialized aerial expertise to projects throughout Delmarva. Clients consistently describe a professional, thoughtful process that prioritizes results while keeping communication clear from start to finish.
Professional drone operations grounded in safety and expertise
Drone operations require far more than flying skill. Airspace awareness, safety planning, and regulatory compliance are essential. Reviews highlight Michael’s knowledge of drone operations and safety measures, noting professionalism and proficiency across multiple projects.
Above Aerial is licensed, insured, and FAA certified for small unmanned aircraft systems operations. Michael has also served in advanced aerial roles through the United States Air Force Auxiliary Civil Air Patrol, including aerial photographer, mission pilot, check pilot examiner, and instructor pilot. He has trained FAA Part 107 pilots and served as lead instructor pilot for the Ocean City Police Department drone program. This depth of experience gives clients confidence that flights are conducted safely, responsibly, and professionally.
Real estate aerial photography that helps listings stand out
Real estate professionals across the region rely on Above Aerial to present properties in a way ground level photography cannot. A longtime broker shared that aerial imagery increased showings and helped properties sell faster by highlighting layout, water proximity, and surrounding features.
Agents describe the footage as professional and highly effective for marketing. When potential buyers can see the full context of a property and its surroundings, interest tends to increase quickly. Above Aerial was built around recognizing the need for affordable professional real estate media, and that focus remains central to the service today.
Creative aerial video for campaigns, businesses, and events
Above Aerial’s work extends well beyond real estate. Clients describe successful collaborations on political campaigns, music videos, and business promotions that required unique local imagery. One reviewer noted that aerial visuals helped create a compelling campaign presence. Others highlight event footage and creative productions that captured atmosphere and energy in ways traditional cameras could not.
If you want aerial imagery that elevates how people see your property, project, or event, Above Aerial delivers visuals designed to leave a lasting impression.
