My name is Justin Deierling, and here is my story….

I have a passion for flight, photography and helping others. My love of aviation began when I was a kid. I started taking flight lessons at 15 years old, “soloed” on my 16th birthday and received my private pilots license at 18. My inspiration most likely came from my fascination of birds, specifically the Red-Tailed Hawk (hence the business name “Red Tail Aerial Imaging”). Capturing photos, specifically from above, also started at an early age. I was always curious how I could get a “birds eye view.” Whether it was model rocket, kites or taking a disposable camera with me on my flights, I always trying to find out how I could see like a bird. Unfortunately, flying real airplanes got expensive….When drones with cameras hit the market, I knew this was my “ticket” back to chasing my dream of capturing flight.

My recent timeline:
